ººº Abstract: I share the point of view of those in this forum, that looks for what is radically new. To invent, to create out of the already existing systems. What are we waiting from participation? To shut up ourselves can be a positive listening. But a lot of people feels bad in silence. I am very interested by the suggestion of LEI Liang. An opening that can introduce * the breath of the mind *, for preventing us from turning in circle in a sterile way, and to enable always what is new. ººº
I share the point of view of those in this forum, that looks for what is radically new. To invent, to create out of the already existing systems. Otherwise, what to do? Not to place ourselves * in opposition *; not to sit down in * the chair of the absolute *, but in that of * relative * things; for to rise * * the deep and real being **.
At the time of a crucial experience in my life in 1971, I've been living ** in the silence, like in an oasis, feeling the fullness of the being.
** This is why I've asked myself on what the facilitators expected from their ** Questionnaire of participation **. To shut up ourselves can be a positive listening. But too many people feels bad in silence. A very famous Western person even said: * the silence of these infinite spaces is frightening. * This forum has widened my horizon by the diversity of the points of view expressed, on a deep subject: our global cohabitation in good intelligence.
My favorite artist painter is the Chinese Zao Wou-Ki. In China, art and life are only one; painting represents a specific way of life.
* Painting consists on the rhythmic beating among emptiness and fullness, such emptiness is the deep dimension that links the elements among them and with the spectator, and it insert the time in the circuit of the space *.
A T'ang painter said: ** art is the life of the mind by the rhythm of things **.
The link between art and language is explained very well by François Cheng in ** L'écriture poétique chinoise **, which puts in evidence the * vital breath *, the emptiness that leads the inner cadence. Painting and music have a link through the rhythm; one day, I found a book (very theoretical) called: ** espaces sociaux, espaces musicaux **. In music, the silence has a function that is the equivalent of the emptiness in painting: * emptiness shapes the vase and music shapes the silence *. I like to look at a conductor. The art of coordinating, with his body and mind, a multiple and complex whole, in order to rise the fullness in it.
I am very interested by the suggestion of LEI Liang. An opening that can introduce * the breath of the mind *, to prevent us from turning in circle in a sterile way, and to enable what is new, always what is new, still what is new. One day, long time ago, I dreamed on going to the Carnival of Rio to have celebration, to break these chains of the western world, to renew with the exuberance of life.
One would write * the planet in celebration * rather than * the planet in mourning *, and the stars would smile.
