Hard-Won Stability

September 29th, 2008

In doing some art related research I found a great site about Vincent Van Gogh. It’s amazing to me that despite his mental illness he was able to create such masterpieces - 150 paintings in the year he spent in hospital/asylum.

“I feel happier here with my work than I could be outside. By staying here a good long time, I shall have learned regular habits and in the long run the result will be more order in my life.”

Regular habits . . . like TLC?!

    Hmmm… maybe we could all use a little time ‘inside’ to help set regular daily habits! ;)

    We could all use a long rest and more order in our lives. Can you imagine what a year’s stay in a hospital would cost!
