Like the Stranger that You've Met

Is it a coincidence that there are eleven stars in Starry Night, by Van Gogh? Was he referencing the 11 stars of Joseph's dream? A teacher of mine once said that themes and meanings all come from the subconscious and can not and should not be consciously planned. Similarly, so much of what we say and do in life possesses and conveys unconsciously intended meanings. Our actions have subtexts, our body language speaks volumes, there is so much meaning beyond what we plan.

Here's the Don McLean song with a slide show of Van Gogh's paintings.
