I'll no longer write online blog-posts to and for you, right here. What started in July 2009 will end today in 2023. I want to fade away, read books, and write papers. I'll work and live life offline in my forest-garden.

But the absence<br />of all feeling, of the least<br />concern for me--I might as well go on<br />addressing the birches,<br />as in my former life: let them<br />do their worst, let them<br />bury me with the Romantics,<br />their pointed yellow leaves<br />falling and covering me."</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">P.S.

</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) had
a simple style she called 'dépouille', which means 'stripped' or 'bare' in
French. In fashion, it means being simple and not too decorated.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Hepburn liked to wear
simple black dresses with ballet flats. She picked accessories that added to
her look without taking over. Her style was about keeping things simple and not
going overboard. 'Dépouille' isn't just a word; it's a philosophy. Even when
fashion keeps changing, Hepburn's love for simplicity reminds us that less is
often more. Being elegant is not about wearing the most, but making the most of
what you wear. And a smile every now and then, ofcourse. Audrey: "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters."<br /></span></p>

Picture men dwelling in a sort of subterranean cavern with a long entrance open to the light on its entire width. Conceive them as having their legs and necks fettered from childhood, so that they remain in the same spot, [514b] able to look forward only, and prevented by the fetters from turning their heads. Picture further the light from a fire burning higher up and at a distance behind them, and between the fire and the prisoners and above them a road along which a low wall has been built, as the exhibitors of puppet-shows have partitions before the men themselves, above which they show the puppets.” “All that I see,” he said. “See also, then, men carrying past the wall [514c] implements of all kinds that rise above the wall, and human images [515a] and shapes of animals as well, wrought in stone and wood and every material, some of these bearers presumably speaking and others silent.” “A strange image you speak of,” he said, “and strange prisoners.” “Like to us,” I said; “for, to begin with, tell me do you think that these men would have seen anything of themselves or of one another except the shadows cast from the fire on the wall of the cave that fronted them?” “How could they,” he said, “if they were compelled [515b] to hold their heads unmoved through life?” “And again, would not the same be true of the objects carried past them?” “Surely.” “If then they were able to talk to one another, do you not think that they would suppose that in naming the things that they saw they were naming the passing objects?” “Necessarily.” “And if their prison had an echo from the wall opposite them, when one of the passersby uttered a sound, do you think that they would suppose anything else than the passing shadow to be the speaker?” “By Zeus, I do not,” said he. “Then in every way [515c] <b>such prisoners would deem reality to be nothing else than the shadows of the artificial objects</b>.” “Quite inevitably,” he said. “Consider, then, what would be the manner of the release and healing from these bonds and this folly if in the course of nature something of this sort should happen to them: When one was freed from his fetters and compelled to stand up suddenly and turn his head around and walk and to lift up his eyes to the light, and in doing all this felt pain and, because of the dazzle and glitter of the light, was unable to discern the objects whose shadows he formerly saw, </i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">P.S.

The book is originally written in italian: 'Le Otto Montagne' (2016).</div><p style="text-align: justify;">Nice movie.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quote from the book (in the Dutch translation):</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"<i>Misschien is het waar, zoals mijn moeder beweerde, dat ieder van ons een favoriete hoogte heeft in de bergen, een landschap dat op ons lijkt en waar we ons goed voelen. Het hare was ongetwijfeld het bos op vijftienhonderd meter hoogte, met schaduwrijke sparren en lariksen, waaronder bosbessen, jeneverbessen en rododendrons groeien en waar de reebokken zich verschansen. Ik voelde me meer aangetrokken tot de bergen die daarna komen: alpenweiden, bergbeken, veengronden, hooglandgrassen en grazende beesten. Nog iets hoger verdwijnt de vegetatie, is alles tot het begin van de zomer bedolven onder de sneeuw en is het grijs van met kwarts dooraderde en met geel korstmos ingelegde rotsen de voornaamste kleur. Daar begon de wereld van mijn vader.</i>" </p><p style="text-align: justify;">My favorite hight in the mountains is without doubt the grassland in the high mountains (German: Alm) where the animals graze in the summer. Meadows everywhere, groups of houses, views all around and the light brighter.

This is the renovated barn (in Brusson, Val d’Ayas, Italy) in which Cognetti wrote his book 'Le Otto Montagne' (<a href="https://www.constructivealps.net/it/ostello-e-centro-studi-per-la-montagna/" target="_blank">source pictures</a>). It was renovated in 2021 so he must have written his book in the old barn. <br /></div>Jean Doornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971530892236496849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724733224155173661.post-54772439717075089042023-05-15T15:51:00.003+02:002023-09-17T09:56:56.079+02:00Distinct Yet Survive<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><p style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_TAP7bT1KSTfltd-4vnhSWRryPV1oVNL6cw8tuWqESQ2k2y75aJLpKpiFW2e1EsJIz7fgeeBrvLQ75RUHnhY5Q5I_LhzuoT5J1J0SOeeQ9OVbDfhzVeMFHElSN2v2q4teTjOggIuWTrOR4K9o1DWiRtmEDo3lRRXkkeTb_6ofDPKyZU1z3NQMd2S/s850/Amish-farm-amish-countryside.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="850" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_TAP7bT1KSTfltd-4vnhSWRryPV1oVNL6cw8tuWqESQ2k2y75aJLpKpiFW2e1EsJIz7fgeeBrvLQ75RUHnhY5Q5I_LhzuoT5J1J0SOeeQ9OVbDfhzVeMFHElSN2v2q4teTjOggIuWTrOR4K9o1DWiRtmEDo3lRRXkkeTb_6ofDPKyZU1z3NQMd2S/w640-h360/Amish-farm-amish-countryside.jpg" width="640" /></a>The Amish's way of life and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnung" target="_blank">their Ordnung rules</a> fascinates me:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;">Personality: reserved, modest, calm, and quiet.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Values: submission, obedience, humility, and simplicity. </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Jewelry is not to be worn, not even wedding rings.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Children are to attend school through the eighth grade. After that, they are expected to work.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Some Amish youth do separate themselves from the community, even going to live among the "English," or non-Amish Americans, experiencing modern technology. Their behavior during this time does not necessarily prevent them from returning for adult baptism into the Amish church (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumspringa" target="_blank">Rumspringa</a>).<br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;">Word processors are only allowed for school and church administrative use.

The degree of use of technology differs per Amish affiliation. What is striking is that they all (better: 97%) use a motorized washing machine!

"<i>Amish practices evolve over time. As modernization takes place, the Amish negotiate to what degree they will accept and utilize technology and other practices of the outside world. This cultural compromise has allowed the Amish to remain a distinct group, yet survive economically</i>."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">P.S. They fascinate me but for me it's a no go because they indirectly reject books and science. Curiosity and wonder are not one of their core values.
