Earth will find a way
Survive all our mistreatment
Only we will not

My father muses
From ashes and Helvetia
His soul with me still

Somehow reminded me of Billy Shakespeare:

"Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind, and therefore
is winged Cupid painted blind."

A Midsummer's Dream

Rothko chapel's weightless space

A portrait of a man with a reddish beard, wearing a light blue jacket, against a swirling blue-green background, capturing intense emotion.

Van Gogh painted one of art history's most beautiful works, and never got to see the person it was made for.

In February 1890, he received a letter. What he created next became a symbol of springtime renewal that still moves millions today. 🧵👇 #artbots #vangogh

Or bend over the grey stone
You left me flowers

God had to be reminded
Which side he is on
