Anita, I'm glad you liked the podcast with Mariane Pearl. I too was struck by her distinction between resistance and forgiveness. As for her accent, it sounded to me like the accent of someone who speaks French as their primary language. They said that Pearl is of Afro-Cuban and Dutch ancestry and was raised in Paris, France.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-8717968226322153562008-04-26T02:25:00.000-04:002008-04-26T02:25:00.000-04:00Hi Annie!Yes I did listen to the interview with Ma...Hi Annie!<BR/><BR/>Yes I did listen to the interview with Marianne Pearl..it was interesting and I rememberede all the writings in the newspapers and a lot of tv on the subject too in those days....it was so terrible and I remember the feelings I had then when I heard about the video about his dead...<BR/>I´m not that much familiar with buddisme, though I for quite some years ago learned about meditation and yoga, but never went into deeper thoughts about buddisme...<BR/>But I aggree with Marianne pearl, that an ethic way of thinking, where she mentions that spirit is what makes us human and that she think a mental resist is a way to win...and that is not the same as foregiveness as she thinks....<BR/>But I get more curious about buddisme......<BR/>It must be so,so difficult to deal with what she had to, that it´s hard to imagine....<BR/>and besides all these thoughts about the interview...another think I noticed, was her way of using the language...so funny and strange way of pronouncing....Anita Thomhave Simonsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281625920250632907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-79520213940384865782008-04-25T23:22:00.000-04:002008-04-25T23:22:00.000-04:00You have a fabulous printmaking blog!

I'm sort of experimenting with that as I work on this triptych, wondering if somehow I can "infuse" the work with the things I listen to as I work. Magical thinking, I know, but I'm enjoying learning about these places through podcasts and listening to music (Buddhist chants, Islamic poetry, Eastern Orthodox liturgies) that I wouldn't ordinarily listen to.<BR/>Anita, did you listen to that interview?Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-31654923972666766852008-04-23T13:38:00.000-04:002008-04-23T13:38:00.000-04:00oh!

It's like that with me. I also prefer speech to music when I'm working as it stops me getting caught up in my own day to day thoughts and I can just create.<BR/><BR/>Admiring your third print in this triptich coming together.<BR/><BR/>CeliaCelia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.com
