Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
Some claim he was crazy. Some say he was a christian.
Of course real christians are ususally called lunatics.
No matter, his paintings still hit something in my soul.

My son and I are trying to put a puzzle together. It is a picture of Van Gogh.
As I sort out the pieces, which I find a rather complex job, I feel as if I was walking near his heart.
The colors are similar, yet the tones are different, and so are the strokes...I mean as I feel the tones, the texture the colors...I can almost feel his heart beat and think his thoughts.

And I am faced with THE question:
Am I really living, or am I just spending my days?

That man seemed to be alive, and at his side I seem to be dead.
