üks - kõik

kõik ühes ja üks kõigis

Köielkõndimisest

Siis seal üleval kõrgel oli üks vana ja kulunud silt, millelt võis lugeda -

Nõuanne köielkõndijale.
Ettevaatust!
Ei ole vahet, kui kaua või kui pika vahemaa Sa oled läbinud,
enne lõppu on endiselt igal sammul ja sammude vahel
võimalik tasakaal kaotada.

Väärt nõuanne, kuigi ei ole just eriti julgustav, mõtlesin endamisi.
Kuid hea, et nüüdseks on siia korralik sild ehitatud.

Auguries of Innocence


To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Parasvöötmes

on lumi
ja okaspuude ning samblike rohelus
lumi sulab
maa seest tärkab rohelus
on rohelus
lund ei ole
küpsed viljad, seemned ning lehed kukuvad maale
langeb taevast valget lund

Imeline

"...ja kas elu pole siiski imeline, 
et me ometi kõige võimatuse kiuste võime armastada?"

Samsara

Lõpetasin äsja 2011. aasta dokumentaalfilmi Samsara vaatamise.
Lisan siia treileri.

meie

Uskusin,
et siis millalgi kui lapsed, noored 
kasvavad, arenevad, vananevad
nad ühel päeval on kasvanud täis 
ehk täiskasvanud.

Tundub, et siiski mitte.
Kuigi mängud, mängukaaslased, 
mänguasjad, mängupaigad, 
mänguvastased ja mängureeglid
tõepoolest vahetuvad, muutuvad.


**********************************************************

meie ja sina
meie ja tema
meie ja teie
meie ja nemad
mina ja sina
mina ja tema
mina ja teie
mina ja nemad
lahustugu ühiseks kõikekaasavaks
meieks

Quotes from John Cage

"Art's purpose is to sober and quiet the mind so that it is in accord with what happens."

I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

“It is not irritating to be where one is. It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.” 

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are. I don't want them to be psychological. I don't want a sound to pretend that it's a bucket or that it's president or that it's in love with another sound. I just want it to be a sound.

“Our business in living is to become fluent with the life we are living, and art can help this.” 

“Everything we do is music."


“There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing.” 


“It is not futile to do what we do. We wake up with energy and we do something. And we make, of course, failures and we make mistakes, but we sometimes get glimpses of what we might do next.”

“What is the purpose of writing music? One is, of course, not dealing with purposes but dealing with sounds. Or the answer must take the form of a paradox: a purposeful purposeless or a purposeless play. This play, however, is an affirmation of life--not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord.” 

“When you start working, everybody is in your studio- the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas- all are there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you are lucky, even you leave.” 

“nothing is accomplished by writing a piece of music
nothing is accomplished by hearing a piece of music
nothing is accomplished by playing a piece of music
our ears are now in excellent condition.” 

“Value judgments are destructive to our proper business, which is curiosity and awareness.” 

“The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accordance with nature, in her manner of operation.” 

- John Cage
