Closetmaid Or Rubbermaid

Will sign in the Universe


To sign in the Universe, oil on cardboard, 1995
knack Each time it is like every man deserves sees only what he is capable of seeing. Civilizations are mortal and the masterpieces they bequeath us are too. Museums are responsible for the burial in their graves or their tombs labeled.
The art can only survive by the looks that love them, those fans, artists, poets, princes charming all capable of making life appearances dead.
Because the eye has the virtues of the kiss and works of art do not watch those who watch them with love. Thus, as the Belle au Bois dormant, a look of a lover is enough to bring them to life. And their beauty awakened shells pierced the hearts and works in depth.
Real artists, the Vinci, Cézanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Manet, Rodin, Kandinsky, Picasso, Miro, Matisse, Klee, Morandi and many others less known, perceived in the humblest really a miracle and received a grateful joy. If they painted their pictures is so that we perceive these graces our turn.

Eye flourished, drawing on a reproduction a study of flowers by Durer, 1985

For the artist, art is perpetual because it is the beginning of Life, which is simply the principle alive in all creation . The artist is a singular living jumping out of time to be in the divine synchronicity: the Present Alive.

In Him and by Him, he hears and understands his own language, his voice, his eyes and he returned in the Universal staff, he received the first Blow, creator of all things and in the gathering he collects himself.
Collected and gathered it can accommodate everything and know its name and, knowing him, he can sign into the world say that prayer including his incredible sense: I'm in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


grace and He will remain with Leonard, Paul Vincent, Wasily, Claude, Pablo, Henry and all his brothers' elusive in the twigs of Being, "as one of them, Paul Klee. And all these reasons, he laughed.

ICONS OF THE ARAB-BYZANTINE MOTHER OF GOD



Icon Melkite "Hodighitria", 17-18 ° S., Crete
The most beautiful Byzantine-Arab icons are probably those made by the School of Aleppo, the 17 ° and 18 centuries. It is noted in some traits presqu'enfantins faces, symbol of innocence, characteristic of these icons. The School of Aleppo but virtually disappeared, with few exceptions, to be replaced by a more Westernized tradition, the confines of Crete.
Many icons are particularly revered in turn become prototypes giving birth to other icons. The original has disappeared and can often be traced only with copies . Such is the case of the icon Hodighitria. The differences between one type of icon to the next are often small: there is a change of hand position, the tilt of the head or the gaze direction of one or Another person represented.

Bend Over And Testicle Hurts

Forgetting oblivion


Call 2010 ultimate



The Life is so obvious that we live without worrying about what it really is. Like the air we breathe, life is invisible. We are so totally one with it that we forget. Now it happened that we have so forgotten what life we missed our forgetfulness.

This oversight of forgetting is not to be confused with the happy carefree life that draws unceasingly in his inexhaustible force, it is rather a dramatic break with what we truly are: the living in life. A form dramatic and far-reaching consequences of this omission is to conceive of life as a biological process reduced science to chemical sequences.

Another, older, is to define life only as our existence in the world and time, since our arrival in the world until the day we leave. Both the outward forms of life take place in the world.


What rediscovering phenomenology of Michel Henry's life is that life has no place in the exteriority of the world, nor even in his time, it takes place in the interior of every living, even more it is his interiority itself. The life we have forgotten, that we shall look in vain where it never appears: in the world, the true life forgets us not because it is our life immanent, our selfhood. !

No living has never brought himself in life, rather it is life that gives each and everyone in it to himself at every moment. Life is so and in no way an object as man, which is defined as thinking subject, as a cogito, by Western philosophy, could reach by his thought, conscience or object or his reason or his science. Because life is already coming to us before any thought or idea, it is preliminary, it is the very possibility of thought, like all our powers.

Life is so unthinkable, invisible force that only we can live, that is to say, in our experience emotions, the imperious desire to live which never separates from itself, which appears in each living in suffering and joy, anguish, or love, which is becoming alive in each and everyone. Life is self-giving, self-revelation, she gives herself in you by giving you simultaneously to yourself.
And that means life is live, give, love, hugging, and experience itself be better and so we live, live forever in our heart alive. "The e heart is the most appropriate definition of man," writes Michael Henry.
What is the relationship between life, art and culture?

Art and culture are manifestations of life in which the living who seek to live more intensely than others - artists - seeking to make us feel at we forgetful of life, lost in the exteriority of the world, and feel what they feel deep within themselves.

For works of art, the true culture, life reminds us, it brings us together and makes itself known more to the human heart in joy and love restarted reunion.


The We is emotional the sole and authentic "living together", as desperate in social science statistics and policies, it is the place of real culture capable of connecting any human community. But that we live we have lost the key and forget what life is and what must be the art and culture.


Day We Lost the living, Rimbaud 's remembered in the beginning of A Season in Hell : "Formerly, if I remember correctly, life was a feast where all hearts opened, where all wines flowed. "


you remember from oblivion? 2008

This We the living Michel Henry speaks: "The human community, is a slick emotional ground on which everyone drinks the same water from this source and this well he is himself. "It is this relationship alive and unseen works of art rediscovered in Wasily Kandinsky Concerning the Spiritual in Art when it comes to painting the vibration of the soul, resonances inside ... His friend Paul Klee said about him trying to make visible the invisible.
Discovery simple and understood by these artists is that without our living relationship to works of art there is no work. A work may exist in the exteriority of the world, it can be entered in the history of art or not, represent the world or not, be made of colors, shapes, smoke, gold or waste, it may still be in a museum or on the street, worth millions or nothing without a living person who saw the work is dead.
It n'yad'œuvre by and experience emotional experienced from the work. The work is work that we, in our inner invisible, where it wakes up the powers of experiencing life.

Beethoven condensed it all into a short form nowhere else: "Beginning at the heart it must go to the heart."
is in this sense that art is spiritual and it is as stated by Michel Henry, Wasily Kandinsky and others, the resurrection of life.

How To Make Tostada Chips Recipe

Back in prison. The



this picture, with Elodie and Patricia (vignette 1), we could very well be the car park of any supermarket in a shopping area. But the left, top, a surprising detail: a turret, more exactly a viewpoint. We are at the entrance of the penitentiary of Laon, that is to say the prison. It is outside the city, in open fields, small fortress between heaven and earth, rising in the middle of the vacuum (vignette 2). It's quite striking to see, when approaching by road. If we do not know what it is, one wonders, the building is mysterious.

My last visit was a year ago and a half or two, I can not remember very well (look in the archives of this blog). The League of Education organizes cultural activities of all kinds, including a café philo. This time, it was with a colleague, Elodie Cabeau, which I participated: it exposes the subject, guides the debate and I raise when needed. Patricia Legendre is the coordinator of initiatives in prison. This morning we discussed in the presence of seven inmates, the question "What freedom?"

The prison, even when we went there several times, it's always impressive controls, doors, gates, corridors, cameras, guards, inmates, one enters in a strange world, in part, disturbing, but at the same time ordinary, normal, familiar. Because prisoners are closer to us than is implied by their deprivation of liberty, sometimes for several years. Most have a family to support, considering to work out, practice in penitentiary outside activities (sports, studies, ...), are very aware of their rights, following the news, often have a good command language. Some even bear marks of distinction which would seem unnecessary here, jacket Lacoste, Adidas or Nike.

The Cafe Philo went as any which coffee philosophy (or almost), with coffee and ideas! In any case, our exchanges for one hour (the participants are all volunteers) are almost forget gates, guards, violence (because there are those who have committed violence on property or people, and deprive someone its freedom is a violent measure although necessary). Instead, the atmosphere is quiet, relaxed (my perception), even if the speeches are often vivid. But it just fine.

Before the session begins, the prisoners were waiting outside the room, I went and said goodbye to a small nod of head. In the end, upon departure, they have risen, have approached us for a handshake. I felt then my mistake, I should do it too, from the beginning (though I have thought, but it is not always what we think). As a handshake in a prison takes on another meaning elsewhere: it is a form of recognition, a gesture of dignity, confidence building.

In a café philo ordinary handshake (when applicable) is trivial, friendly and polite. It does not pay attention, have it done or not. In prison, she has another dimension, it becomes a mark of humanity (no not shake hands with a beast or a monster). This morning, I felt this thing, I've experienced: the strength, dignity and humanity of a hand reaching out to another hand. Next time (in April), I will not forget.
