words of truth, Odin. we all bare out our soul for everyone to see having only the purpose of expressing and sharing it. stunning form of the piece as well.

Van Gogh certainly had a passion for color. I've often marveled at how painters mix pigments on their pallet to get just the right colors for their painting. Like a guitarist picks just the right string and string length to get just the right pallet for a melody.

I have a disabled artist's sunflower, reminiscent of Van Gogh, hanging over the head of my bed, signaling bright sunshine looking down on me. When I saw it in the hallway at a conference for the disabled in Austin about 15 years ago, I saw it begging me to come and buy it. So I did.

Indeed the price every artist of every genre pays for doing what they do and being what they are, a fresh breath of spirit.

A fine poem. The hourglass shape is subtle enough and the language is direct. A tribute, an elegy, an exploration. Well done Odin, as always.
