Arthur Rimbaud - Eternity

 

"Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun."

Eternity

By: Rimbaud

It has been found again! What? Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.

My immortal soul, keep your vow despite the lonely night and the day on fire.

Thus you detach yourself from human approval, from common impulses! You fly off as you may…

-No hope, never; and no orietur. Knowledge and fortitude, torture is certain.

No more tomorrow, satiny embers, your own heart is the [only] duty.

It has been found again! – What? – Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.

Rimbaud

It is not life that tires us, but the foolishness with which we burden our lives.

Change the way you look at things

 

If you change the way you look at things

The things you look at change.

What is M.S.?

 

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.

 

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain and spinal cord which make up the central nervous system and controls everything we do. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but we do know that something triggers the immune system to attack the brain and spinal cord. The resulting damage to myelin, the protective layer insulating wire-like nerve fibers, disrupts signals to and from the brain. This interruption of communication signals causes unpredictable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis. Everyone’s experience with MS is different and these losses may be temporary or long lasting.

My response to living with multiple sclerosis is a simple formula

My response to living with multiple sclerosis is a simple combination of exercise and a plant based diet (Dean Ornish) combined with things like meditation as prescribed by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

My response to living with multiple sclerosis:

You are not your illness

Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik | Gewandhaus Quartet with Steffen Adelman...

https://youtu.be/czBSj6_6rkE

It’s one of the most emblematic pieces of classical music ever: Mozart’s Serenade in G major (K. 525), widely known as ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’, performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet in the stunning surroundings of the Rammenau Baroque Castle in 2005. 

(00:00) I. Allegro 

(05:22) II. Romance (Andante) 

(10:56) III. Menuetto (Allegretto) 

(13:06) IV. Rondo (Allegro)


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) composed this lively serenade in the summer of 1787, at the height of his success. While the piece was originally composed for two violins, a viola, a cello and a double bass – as is the configuration of this performance – it is nowadays more commonly performed as an orchestral arrangement. Out of the many serenades, divertimenti and cassations Mozart wrote during his lifetime, ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’ is doubtlessly his most famous work of chamber music. During the late 18th century, such light entertainment ensemble pieces enjoyed immense success and were often performed during social occasions, particularly in outdoor locations such as gardens and parks. The four-piece serenade opens with an allegro in sonata form, followed by a slower, lyrical second movement and a minuet, and finishes on an energetically joyful rondo. The melodic lightness and effortlessness typical for this genre of music is present throughout all four movements. The Gewandhaus Quartet (also named Leipzig Gewandhaus Quartet) was founded in 1808 and is considered one of the first professional quartets in the world. It is composed of the soloists and concertmasters of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Throughout the years, numerous premieres of quartets by renowned composers have been performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

 

 
The physicality of our life leads with our brain as a fundamental vehicle of our minds. We can though reverse this process, as our mind can also lead our brain. Thanks Helen, JZ.
