09.05.2014 - Samuel Beckett and Meaninglessness and Survival etc. by dali48
dali48 and cycling and photographing "flora and fauna" in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) is an Irish novelist and playwright, one of the great names of Absurd Theatre with Eugene Ionesco - although a recent study regards Beckett as a postmodernist…
His plays are concerned with human suffering and survival, - and his characters are struggling with meaninglessness - and the world of the Nothing...
Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969...
In his writings for the theatre Beckett showed influence of burlesque, vaudeville, the music hall, “comedia dell'arte”, and the silent-film of such figures as Keaton and Chaplin...
“We are all born mad - Some remain so.” (We are all born mentally sane – see tabula rasa - some remain so – ca. 10 - 33%” - in a mad world, see e.g. Germany, 1933 - 1945, etc. – d.48)... (From Waiting for Godot, 1952)
Beckett was born in Dublin into a prosperous Protestant family - His father, William Beckett Jr, was a surveyor...
Beckett's mother, Mary Rose, had worked as a nurse - before marriage...
He was educated at the Portora Royal School and Trinity College, Dublin, where he took a B.A. degree in 1927 - having specialized in French and Italian...
Beckett worked as a teacher in Belfast and lecturer in English in Paris - During this time he became a friend of James Joyce...
After his father died, Beckett received an annuity that enabled him to settle in London - where he underwent psychoanalysis (1935 - 1936)...
In 1938 he was hospitalized from a stab he had received from a pimp to whom he had refused to give money - Around this time he met Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil - a piano-student, whom he married in 1961...
When WWII broke out, Beckett was in Ireland, but he hastened to Paris and joined a Resistance network - Sought by the Nazis, he fled with Suzanne to Southern France, where he remained in hiding in the village of Roussillon 2.5 years. - Beckett worked as country laborer...
After the war Beckett worked briefly with the Irish Red Cross in St. Lo in Normandy...
These books (Molloy, Malone Meurt, L'innommable, 1950) reflected Beckett's bitter realization - that there is no escape from illusions and from Cartesian compulsion to think, to try to solve insoluble mysteries...
Beckett was obsessed by a desire to create what he called “a literature of the noneword” - He waged a lifelong war on words, trying to yield the silence that underlines them...
2 tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, who call each other Gogo and Didi - meet themselves near a bare tree on a country road. They wait for the promised arrival of Godot, whose name could refer to 'God' - or also the French name for Charlie Chaplin, 'Charlot'...
Godot sends word that he will not come that day - but will surely come the next...
Without Godot, their world does not have purpose - but suicide is not the solution to their existential dilemma… (PAC)
Golden Snow
“Beckett and Meaninglessness ... lot of mind searching but I believe we all search for something in life ... whether it’s the meaninglessness of words or ways to survive in this mad world ... some days I feel I would like to become a small speck and observe everything at a distance ... I also believe we are born sane, but with the teaching of others are lead astray on so many things ... (children have no rights) so yes we do become mad ... if we are blessed we will regain a new respective in life ... become a person of knowledge from good and evil as it was intended ...interesting man Beckett ...”
09.05.2014 - Freedom and Solitude and Zen etc. by dali48
dali48 and cycling and photographing "flora and fauna" in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
Freedom is not getting what you want - but to like what you get… (Hotei)
Solitude - Also, this is joy: Autumn evening… (Buson)
Life is what happens to us - while we are making plans...
To live concentrated at present - how refreshing that is, and as loosening for all the prejudices and inhibitions. Now we cannot live yesterday - or tomorrow - or even the next minute...
But unlike the heron, we still live on a different level, the level of words - and on it we can imaginatively project into the past or future (including thoughts, memories, ideas, visions and dreams, etc. - d.48)...
Silvery grass fronds - trembling in every breath of wind - lonely heart… (Issa)
Religious symbols should not be confused with what they symbolize - Don’t take the mirror image of the moon for the moon itself...
A Zen person feels himself as part of nature, and sees life as a dance - as a joyful and spontaneous movement...
You can enjoy everything what you want to enjoy. What to do? Laughing! Cursing! Write a haiku (see e.g. my poems, tweets, etc. - d.48). And go on...
A full moon: On the rice straw mat (see “tadami” in Japan, 1978 - d.48) a pine shade is falling… (Kikaku)
As she washes the rice - her smiling face, is shortly lit by a lightning bug… (Unknown haiku poet)
The heavy leaf falls on its own initiative - in this quiet, calm day without wind… (Boncho)
In short, the world of each person - is different from the world of each other... (Holmes / Horioka)
Golden Snow
“Freedom is Zen ... love the statement " life is what happens to us - while we are making plans ... never really thought of it that way before dali48 very profound thoughts ... to live concentrated at present ... how refreshing that is ... yes I am finding each day I can remember those words ... when I can I am grounded ... the part on ... a Zen person can enjoy everything what you want to enjoy ...”

dali48 and photographing "Flora and Fauna" etc, Wickrath 06/2013
Interpretation of dali48
Sugar-related: Decline of the bite, rheumatism, arthritis, osteoarthritis, liver disease, gout, heart attack, stroke, etc…
Prohibited:
1 white and brown sugar, dextrose, fructose, lactose, maple syrup, sucanat, great sweetness, glucose syrup - everything except honey…

3 margarine, refined oils…
4 fruit juices, vegetable juices, cooked and canned fruit…
5 regular consumption of coffee, tobacco and alcohol…
The problem of aging is that people accept it - understand its meaning and realize it… (R. Guardini)
Vitamin A deficiency causes eye disease… (A. Furtmayr-Schuh)
Daily Value: Vitamin C = 75-200 mg (2-3 oranges), Vitamin E = 60-800 mg, Vitamin A (beta-carotene) = 3-15 mg...
A single train from the cigarette - floods the lungs with a few trillion of these oxygen radicals (see cell metabolism)…
Important for Health: Vitamin A, C, E plus selenium (against a heart attack, cancer etc. - d.48)...
Required and allowed: whole wheat bread, porridge of fresh wheat, fresh food, butter and cold pressed oils… (M.O. Brucker)
Our modern preventive medicine does best, are risk factors - but it is not preventing diseases...
Balanced life: avoid internal stresses - Laugh at yourself. - Look at your own life as a distant “world theater.” - Lots of fresh air. - Daily walks. - Getting enough sleep. - Frugal eating...
With regular exercise - bone loses no longer corresponding to your age, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, but collects more minerals in the bone - with increasing training time...
Golden Snow
“I do have a sweet tooth, but flowing your sites for a year plus I am now on the right path ... I have much more energy than ever before ... sugar seems to take down my system leaving me feeling tired ... coming from a poor family, store bought food was a rarity ... veggies from the garden and fruit from our trees filled our bellies ... I eat very little wheat but I bake with unbleached organic flour or almond and rice flour ... have adapted some nice treats no sugar ... love the list of vitamins listed here dali48 ... I have to take them everyday ... your list validates for me thank you ...”
