The real reason for the forty-hour workweek

«We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have.»

Silence


Words, words, words : Fluttering, drizzle and snow.
Silence, silence, silence : a roaring thunderbolt.
- proverbe zen

Koan of the day

Sozan, a Chinese Zen master, was asked by a student: "What is the most valuable thing in the world?" 

The master replied: "The head of a dead cat."

"Why is the head of a dead cat the most valuable thing in the world?" inquired the student. 

Sozan replied: "Because no one can name its price."

«I like to think of sitting meditation as embodied rebellion... standing up against the forces in your own mind but also against the cultural forces that keep us so busy and so distracted that we forget about what's important and what's really nourishing...»

Si simple et pourtant.


«Malgré tous ces effets positifs sur notre santé, les gens rient en moyenne 15 fois par jour, soit environ 6 minutes. Il y a cinquante ans, cette moyenne était de 20 minutes par jour... les enfants qui se permettent de rire jusqu’à 400 fois par jour!»

Cette semaine, ma mère m'a donné la machine sur laquelle j'ai appris à coudre. Comment dire... Ça fait longtemps que je n'ai pas reçu un aussi beau cadeau. Merci maman!

Je me souviens d'avoir rétréci des jeans en largeur, fallait le vouloir! C'était bien avant la mode des skinnys.
