Amida Shu Podcast 44, 2nd July 2020: The Art Of Living (Transcript)
There is some really important common ground between spiritual practice and art. In fact, one could possibly say that spiritual practice is the ultimate art. Just as we have music and painting and poetry and various forms of art, each of which has a specific medium, spiritual practice is the art in which the medium is simply life itself. Can one turn one’s life into a work of art? Even in this statement or question there is a kind of paradox. An artist is, we can say, somebody who turns a piece…

POESIA
H. Marsman
Phoenix
Vlam in mij, laai weer op;
hart in mij, heb geduld, verdubbel het vertrouwen-
vogel in mij, laat zich opnieuw ontvouwen
de vleugelen, de nog moede en grauwe;
o, wiek nu op de verbrande takken
en laat den moed en uwe vaart niet zakken;
het nest is goed, maar het heelal is ruimer.
google would translate this as
H. Marsman
Phoenix
Flame in me, flare up again;
heart in me, have patience, double confidence
bird in me, unfolds again
the wings, the still weary and gray;
oh, now watch the burned branches
and do not let the courage and your speed drop;
the nest is good, but the universe is wider.

Dulces Pontes: Canção do Mar
Fui bailar no meu batel
Além do mar cruel
E o mar bramindo
Diz que eu fui roubar
A luz sem par
Do teu olhar tão lindo
Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração
Se eu bailar no meu batel
Nao vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo
Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá…
