Dear Richard, I am touched by your tribute. It is so true that i cry with empathy for Vincent. Seeing your tribute, i have tears of joy. Thanks a million Richard.
Dear Geeta, you have opened your heart and soul to welcome the spiritual energy of Vincent Van Gogh into your life. As a result, an extraordinary creative body of work about his life is maturing like a rare wine.
2) Your series has truly resonated with me. I felt my father's spirit as I was reading the poems about the coal miners. Consequently, I experienced tears of pain...and tears of joy. That empathy was a great asset in writing this tribute poem. So very very happy with your receptivity!
The story of Vincent Van Gogh's life has moved me so much, specially his struggle as an artiste. I am an artiste so i could feel his pain and anguish. I have read and re read his letters to his brother over and over again many times.
Geeta, it is very evident that you are a true artiste. Only an artiste could feel Vincent's pain and anguish so much that she/he could make the audience shed tears of pain and joy. Vincent and Theo were blessed to have had such an extrordinary relationship.
How beautiful dear Richard! I have no adequate words to express my gratitute to you for this wonderful tribute.
Dear Geeta, your gratitude is expressed throughout in your exquisite series.
An absolutely beautiful poem honoring Dr.Geeta Radhakrisna Menon. I have read many of her poems and am truly amazed by her talents.I have enjoyed her biographical series on Albert Einstein and now on the life of Vincent Gogh.
Bharati, I too had really enjoyed her brilliant series on Einstein. And so many of her other series. THX so very much for your positive response to my tribute poem.
You have gotten inside the intention of Geeta's series. You rejoice and empathize with the soul journey she lays out along the way stations of Vincent's life. To my favorites.
Denis, Geeta's been writing this series with a truly empathic heart. It's been such a great pleasure to read each, and every, poem. Greatly appreciate you adding my tribute to your favourites!
An absolutely magnificent tribute, Richard. I have just been re-reading Geeta's 'Vincent' series and I am finding that indeed Vincent is taking on some epic hero qualities.
Geeta's series is a real eye opener for me. The poems about the coal miners and their families had really hit home...my father had been a coal miner in France.
Yes, M.J., 'Vincent is taking on some epic hero qualities' thanks to the brilliance of Geeta's series. Very happy that you like my tribute.
