Our Regular Encounters

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunflowers

is the title of two series

of still life paintings by

Dutch master

Vincent van Gogh.

The first series, executed

in Paris in 1887,

the second set, made a

year later in Arles,

shows a bouquet of

sunflowers in a vase.

Slowness means cleaving

perfectly to time,

so closely that the

seconds fall one by one,

drop by drop like the

steady dripping of a

tap on stone.

This stretching of time

deepens space.

It is one of the

secrets of walking:

a slow approach to

landscapes that gradually

renders them familiar.

Like the regular encounters

that deepen friendship. Frédéric Gros
