La Formica Zen (italian Edition) ( )
Ricco è chi estrae bellezza da tutto
È DAVVERO RICCO SOLO CHI SA ESTRARRE LA RICCHEZZA E LA BELLEZZA ◊◊◊◊◊◊ DA QUALSIASI COSA" (Orison Swett Marden)
Lo Spirito del Giappone (Leonardo Vittorio Arena)
Mono no aware: bellezza e tristezza delle cose
L’aspetto estetico rappresenta l’attrattiva filosofica principale del Genji monogatari. Esiste una categoria, mono no aware, strettamente correlata al buddhismo. La vita nella penombra lascia trasparire il carattere tetro delle cose. Come se queste fossero avvolte da un alone…
Il barattolo rotto e riparato di Rikyu
L’antichità del wabi si deduce dalla sottile patina di polvere sui muri, o dalle tazze incrinate, non per questo inutilizzabili. Un mercante mostra compiaciuto a Rikyu un servizio di ceramica con eleganti barattoli per la conservazione delle foglie. Il maestro del tè non vi…
Wabi: la bellezza del disadorno
La monocromia delle tazze e l’ambiente soffuso della sala da tè riaccennano al wabi: indicano la semplicità della vita, il distacco dalle tonalità accese, impregnate dal disordine mondano. Nel cha no yu è come se si conferisse la bellezza a ogni elemento dell’insieme…
Yugen (definizione)
Yugen. «Profondità misteriosa» inerente alla natura degli oggetti, mai decodificabile appieno. Qualità estetica. Grazie allo yugen, si percepisce la stretta affinità tra la realtà concreta e l’ineffabile.
Minimalism Is Boring (and That's Ok) | I Care If You Listen
Minimalism in music
G.K. Chesterton once wrote that there is “no such thing as an uninteresting subject, only an uninterested person,” and minimal music has opened me to the truth in that statement. If I know that beauty can be found in 468 fourths, then perhaps it can be found in other places as…
The Acid Diaries (Christopher Gray)
Huxley's chair like the Last Judgment
Confronted by a chair which looked like the Last Judgment—or, to be more accurate, by a Last Judgment which, after a long time and with considerable difficulty, I recognized as a chair—I found myself all at once on the brink of panic. This, I suddenly felt, was going too far…
Discovering Ockeghem's Requiem
During the trip when I caught my first glimpse of the sacred, I had been listening to a CD of Hildegard of Bingen. The music must have touched me more deeply than I realized, because when I returned the CD to the library I borrowed two further discs of late medieval/ early…
Letting go into beauty
I had ever felt truly meditative on a trip. The acid hadn’t been played out at all. The same sense of boundaries dissolving, which had allowed me to become one with people on the street, was granting this gentler, sweeter sense of empathy with wind and water and trees. I felt I…
Beauty is the beginning of terror
The moorhens were gliding toward me across the burning black water. Somehow they were both moving and staying still at one and the same time. There was a flash of pure heaven. I felt absurdly weak; my knees were starting to give way. In his Duino Elegies, the poet Rainer Maria…
The connection between beauty and death
Why, or so it was impressed upon me that evening, we hang on to life so desperately is because we are enjoying it so little; but once we are living life to the full, then the meaning of death changes entirely. Somehow it becomes the consummation of life. Before, whenever I…
Villa Metaphora (Andrea De Carlo)
La solitudine sull'isola e la purezza del silenzio
Per gran parte dei tre mesi e mezzo che ha passato sull’isola è stato praticamente da solo, se si esclude qualche operaio e trasportatore, e ogni tanto Perusato e Lucia in missione di controllo. Ha potuto apprezzare in piena solitudine la purezza della luce e l’intensità del…

Music
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best…
