'Sometimes it's precisely those spots where one no longer feels anything of what's known as the civilized world ... sometimes it's precisely those spots that one needs to achieve calm.' Van Gogh
There is something about this scene that gives me peace every time I see it.
Thanks, Appleblossom I need to broaden my scope of artists I'll do some research 🙂

Thanks for trying. I did get to watch the video though.
My heart hurts. So does my head.

Sounds like a few heavy things going on.
I could not laugh for a long long time.
No pressure to put on fake happy.
I was just riffing on arty farty.
Sometimes sitting with the reality of the feeling in a physical sense, without judging or denying or trying to change it can help.

I have literally been dispossessed...
It feels like grief will stop my pulse.
I've heard of people dying from heart break ...

Grief can be shifting and high and low energy. Sadly I have had more than my fair share. For you it seems it could very raw. Not sure of your all your circs.
There are many ways to express it. Even "it" seems an oversimplification, as feelings and thoughts and experiences are all wrapped up in each other.
What is authentic to you, is your journey.
