In 1997, with several my college classmates , I saw Van Gogh's starry night, your favorite one that was painted at June 1889 , at the museum of modern night in New York city. To be frankly, I was not so moved with Van Gogh's work then. That was simply because I knew very little about him. Also, I just did not like the misery refleced on his work. But I did buy Van Gogh's painting book from where the information I post above come. I did not frequently open it until recently. I used it as a medium to teach my 2 year old son to appreciate the world's beauty through artist's eyes. At the same time, I learnd Van Gogh in more depth and he become the first western artist that my son have ever known. My son likes Van Gogh's Sun Flower series. And sun flower become one of his favotire flower. He even asks me to buy sun flowers when I worship buddha. Is it really amazing ? I planted sun flowers before and I may do it again this summer.

I will say" Until now, I don't even know who I was, who I am and who I will be. If I can not understand myself, how can I expect other to understand me.

In our world, I believe we do need artists to teach us or guide us to appreciate the beauty that is beyond our grasp. Through artist's creativity, the world will indeed become very different.

In the end, I admire your effort to do the typing for Aunt Hwa. Without your contribution, we may not be able to take advice from Aunt Hwa as easy as right now. And this board may become kind of boring.

Good luck and Thank you
