Celebration... is self restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder - the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this.

Self World Who We Are

More From Martin Heidegger

Restraint never ruins one's health. what ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. a really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. the very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.
Self Ruins Firsts
The world worlds, and is more fully in being than the tangible and perceptible realm in which we believe ourselves to be at home...by the opening up of a world, all things gain their lingering and hastening, their remoteness and nearness, their scope and limits. in a world's worlding is gathered that spaciousness out of which the protective grace of the gods is granted and withheld. even this doom of the god remaining absent is a way in which the world worlds...all coming to presence...keeps itself concealed to the last.

So the problem for the poetic artist or the photographer is the common problem of continuous attentiveness, continuous attempts to notice what he is noticing, continuous alertness to catch himself thinking or seeing, devotional attentiveness to the world he's moving through.

The thing about champagne,you say, unfoiling the cork, unwinding the wire restraint, is that is the ultimate associative object. every time you open a bottle of champagne, it's a celebration, so there's no better way of starting a celebration than opening a bottle of champagne. every time you sip it, you're sipping from all those other celebrations. the joy accumulates over time.
Joy Wire Bottles
L'arche is not a service institution or a group home. it is a community that exists to reveal god's love. our people are given to the world to tell others about peace and forgiveness and celebration, to make them aware that in the midst of their brokenness, there is joy; in the midst of their wounded nature, there is healing.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

All [zoos] actually offer to the public in return for the taxes spent upon them is a form of idle and witless amusement, compared to which a visit to a penitentiary, or even to a state legislature in session, is informing, stimulating and ennobling.

If zoos are like arks, then rare animals are like passengers on a voyage of the damned, never to find a port that will let them dock or a land in which they can live in peace. the real solution, of course, is to preserve the wild nature that created these animals and has the power to sustain them. but if it is really true that we are inevitably moving towards a world in which mountain gorillas can survive only in zoos, then we must ask whether it is really better for them to live in artificial environments of our design than not to be born at all.

Besides, the bass isn't a difficult instrument to play. it's like one step up from the kazoo, isn't it?
