L’homme s’est retrouvé seul dans un monde absurde. Kafka a décrit cette situation absurde: « Ils ont eu le choix entre devenir rois ou les messagers des rois. A la manière des enfants, ils voulaient tous être messagers. C’est pourquoi il n’y a que des messagers. Ils galopent à travers le monde en se criant les uns aux autres des messages qui n’ont pas de sens, puisqu’il n’y a pas de rois. Ils aimeraient bien mettre fin à leur misérable existence, mais ils n’osent pas parce qu’ils ont prêté serment ». Aujourd’hui, il semble qu’on ait pris la mesure de l’absurdité du monde. Enfin, pas vraiment, mais, on fait comme si. Ou alors on n’y pense pas. C’est peut-être ça: on n’a pas le temps de penser, non? Enfin, disons, après avoir fait plus ou moins notre deuil du sens, on s’est lancés, comme des philosophes de l’Antiquité qui auraient lu Roger-Pol Droit sur leur iPad, dans une recherche du sens, mais sans transcendance. C’est-à dire que l’on s’est mis à faire de petites expériences, des exer...

Poesia: Se guardo Dentro Di Laura Mercurio Ebohon

Un libro che merita di esser letto.. Io l'ho ricevuto in dono e ne ho apprezzato la profondita' dei sentimenti, l'originalita' di espressione ed il coinvolgimento emotivo in tutte le manifestazioni affettive. Percorso a volte straziante, che avvolge in un abisso, inquieto ed inquietante ove vince la VITA in quanto protagonista e compagna di dolore celato ma VIVO per intensita'... L'affermazione della vita si delinea come umile accettazione della sofferenza di cui la dimensione affettiva non e' mai scevra. La delicatezza e la sensualita' di molti versi rendono giustizia a questo libro che non e' da considerarsi come uno sfogo emotivo ma il risultato di un'introspezione personale ed artistica. Grazie Laura.
Why design matters

In 1996 Steve Jobs was interviewed by “Wired Magazine” and he said this about design. “Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it “looks”. But of course if you dig deeper , its really how it” works”. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. To design something really well, you have to “get it”. You have to really “grok ” what it’s all about. It takes a passionate comittment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it , not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that.” The term “Grok” by the way is a real word and not a “Jobian” expression. It means according to the Oxford English Dictionary “to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with” and “to empathize or communicate sympathetically with). Wikipaedia says “To grok is to share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity“.
To Say Before Going to Sleep by Rilke

To Say Before Going to Sleep by Rilke I would like to sing someone to sleep, to sit beside someone and be there. I would like to rock you and sing softly and go with you to and from sleep. I would like to be the one in the house who knew: The night was cold. And I would like to listen in and listen out into you, into the world, into the woods. The clocks shout to one another striking, and one sees to the bottom of time. And down below one last, strange man walks by and rouses a strange dog. And after that comes silence. I have laid my eyes upon you wide; and they hold you gently and let you go when something stirs in the dark. (from The Book of Images, translated by Edward Snow in 1991)
