Church (May)

'The Church at Auvers', 1890.

Visiting Van Gogh. Social media is the opium of the people. Hollywood Top 100 is the opium, ‘Lust For Life’ facsimiles screen to rooms of the well-fed, “Starry, starry night” serenades radio of permanent recycle. I blew it as a pastor, I went far beyond respectable. No one has to lift a prostitute out of destitute, no one must preach till they’re blue in the face. Reject priests can be more evangelical than new converts. We are realists of the spirit. Opiates are useless and May is a miracle. Today, Theo, I will colour-warm a church from the outside in.
