woooow,
what a greatfull reply ![]()
There are so many of your sentences that resonates in my mind at the moment, awesome, It brings me back to an earlier post also (here) where i explain the overwelmness of feelings while preparing for the open village festival where i paradoxaly couldn’t make it because of overwelmness.
Finding the right balance between urgency (a feeling that i think is something everybody needs to learn to care about in any movement, project or idea) and slowness is something i’m starting grasp. I have had years of panic attacks that gave me a lot of thrive at the moment but made me crash on the long term. something that i still have to learn each day to balance between those two feelings.
I find it so cool that you mention Foucault as a great analyst of power structures / mechanics from a for me antropological perspective. But i want to add a (funny) oncle in the family, Roland Barthes, the man that could make out every day objects the center of a philosophical principles. Just take Mythologies opener about wrestling and his disertation about chopsticks in L’empire des signes. We need his naive vision to make live also beautiful.
And again, while writing this, after a long, chaotic, day i have a feeling of wholeness. Writing helps me ground, even if at this moment it is not easy to shape my idea, i had the urgency to respond because it was simply a wonderfull reply.
Lets just use these two contrasts: slowness and urgency to mould the ideal moment to continue this conversation.
Thanks,
Yannick
