What shall we do with sorrow?
By amplitudvisible
I am reading Vincent Van Gogh’s letters to his brother Theo. He says that an idea has to become an action not a feeling. He also uses this expression: ‘active melancholy’.

“La gente dice que encuentra el amor, como si fuera un objeto escondido bajo una piedra. Pero el amor adopta muchas formas y nunca es igual para todos los hombres y mujeres. Lo que la gente encuentra es un determinado amor. ..” Mitch Albom

One of Vincent’s most inspirational drawings of Sien, the woman he loved, along with her two off springs. Just have yourselves a few looks at his earlier works of art,… and of his drawings of them. The only alternative which Vincent was left with by his loving brother Theo the art dealer,… and the minister of our lord,… his loving father… You leave this good for nothing hoe and and her kids,.. or else,…. there will be no more money or of family support ever again. At that time this was the only money coming in for help with Vincent’s art career, and still leaving them all of having to go quite often to the soup kitchens.
