About this deal

William Blake alıntıları da Jung’un rehberliği de başvurulan makaleler de hem çok doğru hem de çok ilham verici referanslar. Or felt frustrated at how live music and theatre are undermined and dismissed by a government that fails to recognise their immense value? Of zoals het adagium van mijn favoriete rapper Aesop Rock klinkt: Breathe in the problems, exhale solutions.

A wonderful and interesting read that I could relate to as well as finding a new way of looking at things. Dat de tijd afwisselend als het slijmspoor van een slak en de vleugelslag van een kolibrie kan tikken en jij zelf mee het tempo kunt bepalen. Dàt werkt ook als je af en toe jezelf (al dan niet hardop als hulp) voorleest, al was het maar om je de Engelse taal nog meer tot je te laten doordringen.

Because my natural default setting is the certainty that situations like this are really all about me. Be present, really listen - don't just wait until it's your turn to speak -, try to act out of genuine solidarity.

Kae Tempest challenges your thoughts in the least judgmental way and then gently guides your digestion of what you’ve just read. Twee doorgaans zieke baby’s die elkaar ’s nachts aflossen om huilend de wacht te houden, hebben me bijna genekt. Gelukkig vond ik vorige week een kersverse houvast: het boekje On connection van de Britse (slam) poet Kae Tempest. Op zoek naar mezelf, want door mij wat verloren en geïsoleerd te voelen de laatste tijd, las ik het essay On Connection van de Britse auteur en artiest Kae Tempest (they/them – hen/hun).They are clearly passionate about the overall message of being present in your own life, meaningfully connecting with others, and respecting that all life around you is just as valid and complex as yours. Ik vind namelijk niet per se dat iedereen nu dit boekje moét gaan lezen, daar staan mijn vijf sterren niet voor. Its thesis – that our need for connection can be fostered by creativity in general and live art in particular – has become all the more compelling since lockdown.

Sterker nog: mijn mentale veerkracht (want dat is hier wellicht de grootst gemene deler) is het voorbije jaar vaak gebrekkig gebleken. I listened to most of it when running through the streets of my city covered with semi-darkness, and throughout the run, I was thinking that the world might not be completely doomed yet, if there are artists as human and gentle as Kae Tempest. In India had ik ontdekt dat de stank van open riolen en vers geslachte geiten het aroma van sandalwood en garam masala niet terneerslaat, dat hemel en aarde zich als buurlanden verhouden, dat vele mensen die duizend keer minder hebben dan ikzelf op een gemiddelde dag dubbel zo vaak lachen.Kae Tempest has added one more string to an already crowded bow: On Connection is the first nonfiction work by this Mercury prize-winning musician, Ted Hughes award-winning poet, acclaimed playwright, novelist, and chief creative chronicler of the last decade. Ha sido interesantísimo entrar en esta reflexión constante de quién soy y qué tanta atención pongo en la conexión con la gente que amo. Belki hiç bilmediğimiz bir şeyler söylemiyor Kae Tempest ama bildiğimizi o kadar güzel, öznel bir yerden söylüyor ki beğenmemek elde değil. Through creativity, Kae has found some of the most important connections of their life – one that stands out in this book is a chance meeting with a homeless poet which left Kae with a total different view of their work and processes.
