Greetings Friends,Here we are in the heart of summer. I am writing this a week after the passing of beloved eco-dharma elder Joanna Macy. We are also in the middle of our summer read of The Hidden Lamp: 25 Centuries of Awakened Women. The koan story that we explored this week was Case 13: Chen's Mountain Flowers and the commentary happens to be written by Joanna Macy. So I want to take the time in this post as well as the dharma talk audio to appreciate Joanna Macy's life, work and practice through the lens of the koan.Chen's Mountain Flowers: China 7th-9th CenturyChen was a laywoman who traveled far and wide, visiting famous masters. After she realized enlightenment, she composed the following verse.Up on the high slopes, I see only old woodcutters.Everyone has the spirit of the knife and the axe.How can they see the mountain flowersreflected in the water—glorious red?Joanna wrote about and lived her life with a wild love for the world. This was demonstrated in her activism, her translations of Rilke's Book of the Hours, her work at building containers to help those engaged in the on-the-ground activism to connect with the emotional and spiritual side of their work and her own dharma practice. The koan Chen's Flowers also speaks to a wild love for the world. One we are invited into through Chen's simple poem.I want to share an excerpt from an interview with Joanna Macy where she is speaking about her love for this earth/world, being less afraid of her fears and belonging—we are already home, she says:It is so great a privilege to be here on Earth at this time. I have had the good fortune to drink from three great streams of thought—the buddhadharma, systems thinking, and deep ecology. Each gives me another way to know Gaia and to know myself. Each helps me be less afraid of my fears. I have had the joy of helping others experience this too, of seeing them take the Work That Reconnects further, building our collective capacities and our trust in reciprocity.Being fully present to fear, to gratitude, to all that is—this is the practice of mutual belonging. As living members of the living body of Earth, we are grounded in that kind of belonging. We will find more ways to remember, celebrate, and affirm this deep knowing: we belong to each other, we belong to Earth. Even when faced with cataclysmic changes, nothing can ever separate us from her. We are already home.Our belonging is rooted in the living body of Earth, woven of the flows of time and relationship that form our bodies, our communities, our climate. When we turn and open our heart–mind to Earth, she is always there. This is the great reciprocity at the heart of the universe. My gratitude to all. May we experience “sheer abundance of being,” as Rilke says, and know that we truly belong here.Here are some resources if you would like to connect more to Joanna Macy's Life Work.On-being—An interview with Krista Tippett and Joanna Macy where several Rilke poems are sharedWork that reconnects—Joanna Macy's website with lots of free resourcesLion's roar interview—An interview with Joanna Macy about Buddhist practice and Eco-dharmaAs I turn over this koan and Joanna Macy's teachings and legacy I find many invitations for practice. Below are three that I am working with this week.An Invitation to Study WantingChen talks about how the woodcutters know only knife and saw. Taking from the earth is their way. What are the knives and saws in our own life? How do we cultivate the courage and generosity to make space for our own wanting, our own desires? What is it like to pause and feel the sensations of wanting without pushing them away, and also without indulging? What else accompanies wanting? And can we make space for those emotions, sensations, beliefs or memories?I find when I make space for wanting, I often open to the gift of this life being experienced through my senses, it feels tender and quivering like a reflection in the water. But good, real. Gratitude follows quite naturally.The Color Red as a Mindfulness BellChen's poem is short and simple, and yet the glorious red rings loudly. I found myself noticing red after reading this poem. So I took it up as a mindfulness practice. Allowing myself to really notice the shades of red in my life. To take time and linger with them, to feel the glory and boldness of ruby, cherry, vermillion, scarlet, crimson. Red also became a mindfulness bell, calling me to open my other senses—to really see, hear, smell, taste, feel. To let my awareness open and my thinking mind silence. Red awakened aliveness. I started to see how my neighbor's overalls, the cardinal on the river trail, the summer rose, the stop sign and brake lights were all in cahoots—helping me to awaken to our shared buddha nature.Wild Love for the World PracticeWhat if your love for the world and your grief for the world could co-exist? What if you took them both for a walk? Where would you go? What would you see? What is your own poem to express this wild love?i meet my sorrow in the lazy river, who doesn't mind my shy sadnessbut instead lets it float along with the gaggle of geese who seem to be deep in meditationi don't try to pretend that i know anything when i walk along the riverits more like meeting godwho seems to shine out of each of us unhindereda light so honesti almost don't lose myself in its playful lovingListen to the dharma talk for a more extensive dive into this koan and Joanna Macy's legacy. May we each discover that we too are already at home, and live with a wild love for this life.

This rich, gorgeous conversation will fill your soul. The singular and beloved Joanna Macy died at home at the age of 96 on July 20, 2025. She has left an immense legacy of beauty and wisdom and courage to sustain us. A Buddhist teacher, ecological philosopher, and Rilke translator, she taught and embodied a wild love for the world. What follows is the second and final conversation Krista had with Joanna, together with Joanna's friend, psychologist and fellow Rilke translator Anita Barrows, in 2021. Joanna and Anita had just published a new translation of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. At the turn of the last tumultuous century, Rilke was prescient in realizing that the world as he'd known it was passing away. Joanna's adventurous life and vision took shape in the crucibles of the history that then unfolded. Relistening to her now is to experience a way of standing before the great, unfolding dramas of our time — ecological, political, intimate. We stand before the possibilities of what Joanna called “A Great Unraveling” or “A Great Turning” towards life-generating human society. All of this and so much more comes through in the riches of this life-giving conversation. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.Joanna Macy was the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects. Her books include Active Hope and four volumes of translated works of Rainer Maria Rilke, together with Anita Barrows: Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God;  In Praise of Mortality; and A Year with Rilke. Krista's previous "On Being” episode with her is “A Wild Love for the World.” That's also the title of a lovely book of homage to Joanna that was published in 2020. Anita Barrows's most recent poetry collection is Testimony. She is the Institute Professor of Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, and also maintains a private practice. 

Dear friends, In memory of Joanna Macy, who passed away on July 19th, we are republishing episode #12 of The Way Out Is In podcast series, with an introduction by Jo Confino. A scholar of Buddhism, systems theory, and deep ecology, Joanna Macy (1929 -2025), PhD, was one of the most respected voices in the movements for peace, justice, and ecology. She interweaved her scholarship with learnings from six decades of activism, had written twelve books, and laught an empowerment approach known as the Work That Reconnects. In episode 12 (November, 2021), presenters Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino were joined by Joanna Macy to discuss the relevance of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings to the crises we face today as a species; the energy of simplicity; truth-telling and the power of facing the truth; the grounds for transformation; impermanence; interbeing. Joanna recollects what Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings and activism have meant to her, and shares a special meeting with him in the early 1980s, during a UN peace conference, when Thay read one of his essential poems in public for the first time. Joanna's activism, forged during many campaigns, and her practice and study of Theravada Buddhism, shine through in her priceless advice about facing the current social and ecological crisis, grieving for all creation, and finding the power to deal with the heartbreaking present-day reality. She also addresses how grief and joy can coexist in one person, and how to be present for life even in the midst of struggle.Their conversations will take you from the current “great unravelling” and the “gift of death” to Rilke's poetry; the magic of love as solution; active hope; the contemporary relevance of the ancient Prophecy of the Shambhala Warriors; the possibility of a “great turning”. And can you guess her aspirations at 92? Could a swing be just the perfect place to discuss the evanescence of life?Brother Phap Huu shares a lesson in patience from Thay, and adds to the teachings of touching suffering, recognizing and embracing the truth, consumption of consciousness, finding balance, and smiling at life.  Jo reads a special translation of one of Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies, expands upon some of Joanna's core books and philosophies, and recollects “irreplaceable” advice about overwork. The episode ends with a guided meditation by Joanna Macy.

Do not be afraid of the suffering, but take it. That’s what a bodhisattva learns to do, and that makes your heart very big.” “Life is only difficult for those who pick and choose. You just take it. And that helps you feel whole, and maybe flying with the birds helps you be with the deep levels of hell. But this is life and it’s all given to us and it’s given free.” “It doesn’t take a poet; all of us can feel that there are times when a shadow passes over our mood and we taste the tears. Taste the tears. They’re salty. It’s the living Earth. We are part of this.” “All Rilke says is, ‘Give me the time so I can love the things.' As if that’s the great commandment. So I want more time to do what I’m made to do. Why else do we have these hearts with more neurons in them than our brains? Why else are we given eyes that can see the beauty of this world and ears that can hear such beautiful poetry? And lungs that can breathe the air. We have to use these things for tasting and loving our world. And if she’s ailing, now is the time to love her more.” “You are the environment; the environment is not outside of you.” “We are in a space without a map. With the likelihood of economic collapse and climate catastrophe looming, it feels like we are on shifting ground, where old habits and old scenarios no longer apply. In Tibetan Buddhism, such a space or gap between known worlds is called a bardo. It is frightening. It is also a place of potential transformation. As you enter the bardo, there facing you is the Buddha Akshobhya. His element is Water. He is holding a mirror, for his gift is Mirror Wisdom, reflecting everything just as it is. And the teaching of Akshobhya's mirror is this: Do not look away. Do not avert your gaze. Do not turn aside. This teaching clearly calls for radical attention and total acceptance.”“We all have an appointment, and that appointment is with life. And if we can touch that in each moment, our life will become more beautiful when we allow ourselves to arrive at that appointment.” “Even in despair, we have to enjoy life, because we see life as beautiful; [we see] that planet Earth is still a miracle.” “We know we are still alive, and because we are alive, anything is possible. So let us take care of the situation in a more calm and mindful way.” “Even wholesome things can become a distraction if you make them take the place of your sheer presence to life.” “Maybe this really will be the last chapter. But I’m here, and how fortunate I am to be here. And I have imagined that it’s so wonderful to be here.” “Impermanence: the fragrance of our day.”

Bob unterrichtet unter anderem Deutsch – und hat dazu einiges zu sagen. Deshalb darf er heute Antworten geben. Die Fragen stellt SWR-Redakteur Gábor Paál. "Deutsch gehört zu den Fächern, die es am besten geschafft haben, mit der Zeit zu gehen", stellt Bob fest. Früher ging es darum, Literaturkenntnisse zu vermitteln – die Lust aufs Lesen blieb dabei oft auf der Strecke. Heute geht es um sprachliche Kommunikation in allen Ausprägungen: Von TikTok bis Rilke. Bob spricht über seine Ansätze im Deutsch-Unterricht, warum er nach Abi-Korrekturen eine Therapie braucht, über den Wert des Auswendig-Lernens und über das enorme pädagogische Potenzial des Theaterspielens.

Kath-Akademie Archiv: „Rainer Maria Rilkes meditativer Blick in die Welt“ von Otto Betz(Hördauer: 92 Minuten)Beim Studientag "Ungeborgen, hier auf den Bergen des Herzens" über Rainer Maria Rilkes meditativen Blick in die Welt referierte Otto Betz, em. Professor für Allgemeine Erziehungswissenschaft und Religionspädagogik an der Universität Hamburg. Das poetische Werk Rainer Maria Rilkes hat auch fast einhundert Jahre nach seinem Tod nichts von seiner Faszination und seiner Wirkkraft eingebüßt. Was waren die Pole seines Denkens? Einerseits war er von einer nachdrücklichen Hinwendung zur Erde bestimmt, andererseits bekannte er: „Wir sind die Bienen des Unsichtbaren. Wir tragen leidenschaftlich den Honig des Sichtbaren ein, um ihn im großen goldenen Bienenstock des Unsichtbaren anzuhäufen.“ Rilke war darum bemüht, eine Schaufähigkeit zu entwickeln, die der Geheimnishaftigkeit der Wirklichkeit gerecht wird und ihren ‚epiphanischen Charakter‘ sichtbar macht. Den Menschen sah er in ein Spiel hineingenommen; und dieser solle auch darin mitspielen, um seiner Berufung gerecht zu werden. Die Bildsprache Rilkes legt uns nicht fest, sie schafft einen Raum und weckt unsere Imaginationsfähigkeit. Rilke hat kein Denksystem entwickelt und fordert nicht zur Nachfolge auf. Aber er lädt uns ein, ihm in den Garten seiner Bilderwelt zu folgen und seine Impulse in unser eigenes Leben hineinzunehmen. Als meditativer Dichter ist er noch zu entdecken.Katholische Akademie in BayernKardinal Wendel HausMandlstraße 23, 80802 MünchenWenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann mögen Sie vielleicht auch diesen.  Hörbahn on Stage - live in Schwabing  Literatur und Ihre Autor*innen im Gespräch - besuchen Sie uns!Realisation Uwe Kullnick

Nesta fala do darma fazemos um intervalo e lemos Rilke.

Dizem que se escuta um estranho silêncio uns momentos antes. Os desastres respiram fundo. A terra sabe-o. Fica tudo quieto, na expectativa. É assim antes dos terramotos e de outros abalos naturais. E há uma nota colhida à margem de uma obra poética dessas que estão sempre a assediar a beleza, buscando legitimar-se, mas que depois mal podem pagar as dívidas face a uma informação clara e incisiva, e que precisam de ir colher noutro lugar: “Quando morremos, a audição é o último sentido a desaparecer.” Talvez busquemos até ao fim, e no limite das nossas capacidades, essa qualidade que torna estranho um silêncio, e que serve como um aviso que nos toca a todos por igual. A inteligência é um subterfúgio. Na verdade, as necessidades mais profundas são animais. Rilke parece intuir isto numa das cartas para Lou: “Noutros tempos, cheguei, por vezes, a interrogar-me por que motivo os santos queriam tanto infligir a si próprios tormentos corporais; só agora compreendo que esse gosto do sofrimento até ao martírio era uma manifestação da urgência, da impaciência de não mais voltarem a ser interrompidos, nem incomodados, inclusivamente pelo que lhes poderia acontecer de pior. Tenho dias em que não aguento ver pessoas, com medo de que rebente nelas uma dor capaz de lhes arrancar gritos, tão forte é a minha angústia de que o corpo, como frequentemente acontece, abuse da alma, que nos animais encontra o seu repouso, mas a segurança só nos anjos a pode encontrar.” Estamos destreinados de tanta coisa que em tempos nos foi crucial. Fomos perdendo a prática, esse balanço constante que trazíamos e que servia já como um impulso fosse em que sentido fosse. Ser homem podia então implicar de raiz um certo empenho, uma relação contundente. E talvez, para nos habituarmos de novo à mudança, rompermos esses casulos onde nos fechámos, pudéssemos impor às nossas conversas um movimento, para trazer para dentro delas nem que fosse a inconstância do cenário. Ao fim de algumas horas, e abdicando de um roteiro claro, poderíamos dar por nós em zonas inesperadas, que acabariam por se intrometer na conversa. “Onde estão os antigos debates, o velho pó?”, questiona Etel Adnan. “Os Sufis costumavam viajar de Múrcia para o Cairo – nas alturas – usando como combustível o poder da sua vontade (se os pássaros conseguem fazê-lo, porque não eles?). O real deve ter significado as milhas que percorreram, e apenas isso. Por baixo deles, o chão a tremer.” Já seria uma forma de nos arrancarmos ao elemento da constância e previsibilidade que nos envolve e absorve, que se tornou a verdadeira textura da realidade quotidiana. A tarefa seria, assim, inverter esta tendência para ficarmos reféns de uma aventura diminuída, diluída, fragmentada, que apenas nos deixa “uma dor fugitiva, quase inacessível à consciência e que não deixa no espírito mais do que uma surda irritação dificilmente capaz de descobrir a sua origem” (Vaneigem). Também as nossas ideias levantariam outro pó se estivessem habituadas a mastigar distâncias no seu compasso. Uma inclinação para a épica nasce com esses relatos que atravessam fronteiras e trazem impressões daquilo que não se vê daqui. “Montanhas levantam-se em nós, tal como a linguagem, fazendo da analogia uma parte intrínseca do pensamento (portanto, do ser)”, adianta Adnan noutro dos seus subtis aforismos. Neste episódio, a nossa convidada, também há muitos anos a tentar fazer sentido da sucessão dos ciclos, e procurando afectar o mundo em vez de ceder ao registo de tantos que se limitam a lubrificar beatamente as partes que lhes cabem do aparelho com a sua contestação formal, veio falar de como têm vindo a estreitar-se os caminhos possíveis para um artista, para alguém que entrega o corpo a uma participação e tenta ferir o isolamento ao qual nos vamos entregando. Joana Manuel é actriz, assume-se queer, mesmo se não sente necessidade de levar à linha os regulamentos de quem entende que a construção de uma diferença passa sobretudo por corresponder a uma qualquer vontade de pureza ontológica. Foi uma conversa em volta de uma mesa, mas com a insegurança de um caminho que temos percorrido cada vez com maiores suspeitas, sem o respaldo de um horizonte ou de tabuletas, um modo de percorrer-se a si mesmo, ansiosamente, como quem busca uma saída.

In this long-lost recording made for KQED San Francisco (circa 2006), M. Allen Cunningham reads from his second book Lost Son, a large experimental narrative about Rainer Maria Rilke. At age twenty-one, while living as an obscure, penurious poet in Munich, Rilke met Lou Andreas-Salome. She would quickly become one of the most important people in his life, and would remain one of his most profound influences. This excerpt begins with their meeting, and renders the young Rilke in his most unrestrained Romantic phase. It was an important early stage of his poetic development, but Lou would ultimately guide him into deeper artistic and intellectual waters. Hosted on Acast.

Today's poem is Refusing Rilke's "You must change your life" by Remica Bingham-Risher.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on July 24, 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “I live with Rilke's famous line, “You must change your life,” in my ear on repeat, an earworm, as if something is less than stellar about who I am today. I move instinctively towards myself as though I were a massive project, believing I will someday, again in Rilke's words, “burst like a star.” That this is how to be seen, to be loved, to be cherished. This quest has distorted my sense of what is important, sown constant dissatisfaction, and emotional states of being that pose health risks. Pursuing perfection has, at times, alienated me from those I hold dear. Not that I don't love them or they me — but that I get tunnel vision in seeking some heroic terminus.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Rabbi Ye'ela Rosenfeld, speaking from Der Nister, looks at how the Shmitah year, the year of letting fields stay fallow, is related to Rilke's advice on how to be courageous in uncertainty. This video is a supplement to Rabbi Rosenfeld's parshah column, which you can find on https://www.dernister.org/newsletter-columns or in our newsletter.#rilke #jewish #philosophy #parshah

Dass sich Mysterien in Worte binden lassen, vermag wohl nurpoetische Sprache. Den drei Texten, die Lyrikpodcast Gastgeber Susanne Garsoffky und Friedemann Magaard vorstellen, gelingt das auf besondere Weise. Die Journalistin Irene Dänzer-Vanotti, in der aktuellen Folge zu Gast, bringt dazu ein Goethe-Gedicht mit: „Wär nicht das Auge sonnenhaft, die Sonne könnt‘ es nie erblicken.“ Dazu klingen „Du, Nachbar Gott“ von Rilke und „Mysterium“ von Rose Ausländer: „Ich höre das Herz des Himmels pochen in meinem Herzen“. Seelenspeise vom Feinsten.

She may be able to quit cartooning (for a while), but Keiler Roberts can't quit The Virtual Memories Show! With her wonderful new book, PREPARING TO BITE (Drawn & Quarterly), Keiler returns to comics with a collection of (mostly) hilarious vignettes about domestic life, middle-age, the impact of multiple sclerosis, and having too many pets. We talk about why she walked away from comics and how she came back, how she avoids memoir in favor of memory (and humor), how she still has anxiety over drawing but is way too tired to have social anxiety anymore, and why she branched into kitschy craft-modes that no one would mistake for art. We get into why she wants her kid to read her journals when she's gone, how MS taught her how to be bored, how men have no idea what perimenopause is like, what it means to be the best appointment of her doctors' day, and the reward of teaching comics to her friends and her mom. We also discuss how Karl Stevens helped her back into comics with this book (& encourages her in every other artistic idea she has), how weird it is to see two of Karl's super-detailed pages beside her sparse drawings in Preparing To Bite, and why she loved collaborating with her brother on the grownup fairytale Creepy. Plus, she teaches me the difference between living more and doing more, and I read you guys a Rilke poem in the intro.

A poem from Rilke converses with the Hindu aesthetic system of rasa.A good book about rasa.Rilke's full poem:The Man WatchingBy Rainer Maria RilkeI can tell by the way the trees beat, afterso many dull days, on my worried windowpanesthat a storm is coming,and I hear the far-off fields say thingsI can't bear without a friend,I can't love without a sister.The storm, the shifter of shapes, drives onacross the woods and across time,and the world looks as if it had no age:the landscape, like a line in the psalm book,is seriousness and weight and eternity.What we choose to fight is so tiny!What fights with us is so great.If only we would let ourselves be dominatedas things do by some immense storm,we would become strong too, and not need names.When we win it's with small things,and the triumph itself makes us small.What is extraordinary and eternaldoes not want to be bent by us.I mean the Angel who appearedto the wrestlers of the Old Testament:when the wrestlers' sinewsgrew long like metal strings,he felt them under his fingerslike chords of deep music.Whoever was beaten by this Angel(who often simply declined the fight)went away proud and strengthenedand great from that harsh hand,that kneaded him as if to change his shape.Winning does not tempt that man.This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively,by constantly greater beings.–Translated by Robert BlyFree Story & Media ConsultationComment and Subscribe here This is a public episode.

What happens when we trace the unexpected influences between seemingly unrelated poetic traditions? In this exploration of German poetry's impact on American counterculture, we discover the fascinating connections between renowned German-language poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Paul Salon with Cleveland's underground literary icon DA Levy.Levy, a Cleveland poet and publisher active in the 1960s who faced obscenity trials and ultimately committed suicide, created work that resonates with Rilke's mystical poetics in surprising ways. Both poets use angels not as mere symbols but as modes of address to readers – inviting us into a space where beauty and terror coexist, where mortality is acknowledged as the very thing that gives life its meaning.As we examine Rilke's "Requiem for a Friend" alongside his more famous Duino Elegies, we see how his approach to mythology established patterns that would later emerge in Levy's work, despite their vastly different cultural contexts. The conversation expands to include translation theory, with insights from contemporary translators Pierre Joris and Johannes Göransson who understand translation not as equivalence but as transformation – every act of writing being itself a translation of experience into language.We also examine how Levy's Buddhist influences connect him more meaningfully to Gary Snyder than to the Beat poets with whom he's often categorized, revealing the complexity of his literary lineage. From Federico García Lorca's concept of duende to the rich ethnic diversity of Cleveland's literary scene, this discussion illuminates how poetry transcends borders while remaining deeply rooted in specific geographies and experiences.Have you discovered DA Levy yet? His work, much of it being republished through Between the Highway Press, offers a portal into a uniquely American poetic vision that draws from international traditions while speaking directly to readers with urgent, transformative power.Links mentioned in the video: https://periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2025/01/alexander-hammond-benedict-from.html?m=1https://rilkepoetry.com/duino-elegies/first-duino-elegy/http://homestar.org/bryannan/duino.htmlhttps://herhalfofhistory.com/2023/07/13/requiem-for-paula-modersohn-becker-by-rainer-maria-rilke/https://abovegroundpress.blogspot.com/2024/10/new-from-aboveground-press-fragments-of.htmlhttps://betweenthehighway.org/Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

What if the key to growth isn't finding better answers, but asking better questions? In this episode, Elizabeth Weingarten shares insights from her book How to Fall in Love with Questions, exploring how embracing uncertainty can lead to greater self-awareness, resilience, and connection. Blending personal stories, behavioral science, and wisdom from poet Rilke, she introduces the idea of a “questions practice” — a mindset shift that helps us navigate life's toughest moments with curiosity and clarity.  ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Topics [0:00] Intro and Speed Round with Elizabeth Weingarten [11:04] The Power of Loving Questions [15:50] The Biological Need for Certainty [21:48] The Role of Patience in Asking Questions [39:18] Questions and the Role of Behavioral Science [47:57] Desert Island Music [50:38] Grooving Session: The Value of Sitting With Questions ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Links More About Elizabeth Better Life Lab How to Fall in Love with Questions Torch Leadership Join the Behavioral Grooves community Music Links Steely Dan - Do It Again Chapell Roan - Pink Pony Club

Paolo Bolpagni"Hammershøi e i pittori del silenzio tra il nord Europa e l'Italia"Palazzo Roverella, Rovigowww.palazzoroverella.comFino al 29 giugno 2025 a Rovigo a Palazzo Roverella si terrà, promossa dalla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo, e curata da Paolo Bolpagni, la prima mostra italiana dedicata a Vilhelm Hammershøi (Copenaghen, 1864-1916), che fu il più grande pittore danese della propria epoca, uno dei geni dell'arte europea tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento.Da pochi anni è in atto la sua riscoperta, e da personaggio quasi dimenticato Hammershøi è diventato uno dei più richiesti al mondo: nel mercato le quotazioni hanno raggiunto livelli strabilianti, con aumenti esponenziali osservabili addirittura di mese in mese; e i musei di tutto il globo si stanno contendendo le sue opere per organizzare retrospettive. Nel 2025 quella di Palazzo Roverella sarà non soltanto la prima mostra italiana dedicata al pittore danese, ma l'unica a livello internazionale. Ciò rende davvero eccezionale l'impresa rodigina, che si pone anche l'obiettivo di porre a confronto i capolavori di Hammershøi con opere di importanti artisti a lui contemporanei, con un occhio di riguardo – in tali accostamenti – all'Italia, ai Paesi scandinavi, alla Francia e al Belgio. In effetti ci sono elementi che accomunano gli appartenenti a questa poetica del silenzio, della solitudine, delle vedute cittadine deserte, dei “paesaggi dell'anima”. Però i visitatori scopriranno che in Hammershøi c'è qualcosa di più, di sottilmente inquietante, di angoscioso e forse addirittura di torbido: le sue donne sono ritratte quasi sempre di spalle; gli ambienti domestici, in apparenza ordinati e tranquilli, lasciano in realtà presagire o sospettare drammi segreti, o l'attesa di tragedie incombenti, con un senso claustrofobico.La biografia stessa dell'artista, che viaggiò di frequente (in special modo in Italia, in Inghilterra e nei Paesi Bassi), ma in verità fu un uomo solitario, induce a riflettere su alcuni aspetti enigmatici: pur sposatosi, Hammershøi mantenne un rapporto strettissimo, quasi simbiotico, con la madre, tornando spesso a dormire da lei; la moglie e modella prediletta, Ida Ilsted, fu colpita da una grave malattia mentale; la sua pittura, che ispirerà il grande regista cinematografico Carl Theodor Dreyer, fu definita “nevrastenica”. Ce n'è abbastanza per attendere come un autentico e irripetibile evento la mostra di Palazzo Roverella."Hammershøi e i pittori del silenzio tra il nord Europa e l'Italia"Dario Cimorelli Editorewww.dariocimorellieditore.itIl volume accompagna la prima mostra italiana dedicata a Vilhelm Hammershøi (Copenaghen, 1864-1916), il più grande pittore danese della propria epoca. Protagonista dell'arte europea tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento, la sua opera viene messa a confronto con le creazioni degli artisti a lui contemporanei, tra il Nord Europa e l'Italia.Più di 100 opere presentano una pittura raramente indagata quanto misteriosa ed affascinante. Una pittura che racconta il silenzio e l'introspezione, dove gli ambienti domestici così come le vedute cittadine descrivono i paesaggi dell'anima.Ma in Hammershøi c'è qualcosa di più, le sue donne, ritratte quasi sempre di spalle, in ambienti ordinati e tranquilli, lasciano presagire tanto la serenità quanto drammi segreti o piuttosto l'attesa di nuovi accadimenti.Il catalogo è arricchito dai testi critici di Paolo Bolpagni, curatore del volume, Annette Rosenvold Hvidt, Claudia Cieri Via, Luca Esposito e Francesco Parisi.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

“Art is a form of prayer … a way to enter into relationship.”Artist and theologian Bruce Herman reflects on the sacred vocation of making, resisting consumerism, and the divine invitation to become co-creators. From Mark Rothko to Rainer Maria Rilke, to Andres Serrano's “Piss Christ” and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, he comments on the holy risk of artmaking and the sacred fire of creative origination.Together with Evan Rosa, Bruce Herman explores the divine vocation of art making as resistance to consumer culture and passive living. In this deeply poetic and wide-ranging conversation—and drawing from his book *Makers by Nature—*he invites us into a vision of art not as individual genius or commodity, but as service, dialogue, and co-creation rooted in love, not fear. They touch on ancient questions of human identity and desire, the creative implications of being made in the image of God, Buber's I and Thou, the scandal of the cross, Eliot's divine fire, Rothko's melancholy ecstasy, and how even making a loaf of bread can be a form of holy protest. A profound reflection on what it means to be human, and how we might change our lives—through beauty, vulnerability, and relational making.Episode Highlights“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”“ I think hope is being stolen from us Surreptitiously moment by moment hour by hour day by day.”“There is no them. There is only us.”“The work itself has a life of its own.”“Art that serves a community.”“You must change your life.” —Rilke, recited by Bruce Herman in reflection on the transformative power of art.“When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.”“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”“Art is not for the artist—any more than it's for anyone else. The work stands apart. It has its own voice.”“We're not merely consumers—we're made by a Maker to be makers.”“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Topics and ThemesHuman beings are born to create and make meaningArt as theological dialogue and spiritual resistanceCreative practice as a form of love and worshipChristian art and culture in dialogue with contemporary issuesPassive consumption vs. active creationHow to engage with provocative art faithfullyThe role of beauty, mystery, and risk in the creative processArt that changes you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectuallyThe sacred vocation of the artist in a consumerist worldHow poetry and painting open up divine encounter, particularly in Rainer Maria Rilke's “Archaic Torso of Apollo”Four Quartets and spiritual longing in modern poetryHospitality, submission, and service as aesthetic posturesModern culture's sickness and art as medicineEncountering the cross through contemporary artistic imagination“Archaic Torso of Apollo”Rainer Maria Rilke 1875 –1926We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.About Bruce HermanBruce Herman is a painter, writer, educator, and speaker. His art has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions—nationally in many US cities, including New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston—and internationally in England, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, and Israel. His artwork is featured in many public and private art collections including the Vatican Museum of Modern Religious Art in Rome; The Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts print collection; The Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; DeCordova Museum in Boston; the Cape Ann Museum; and in many colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.Herman taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, and is the founding chair of the Art Department there. He held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts for more than fifteen years, and continues to curate exhibitions and manage the College art collection there. Herman completed both BFA and MFA degrees at Boston University College of Fine Arts under American artists Philip Guston, James Weeks, David Aronson, Reed Kay, and Arthur Polonsky. He was named Boston University College of Fine Arts Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2006.Herman's art may be found in dozens of journals, popular magazines, newspapers, and online art features. He and co-author Walter Hansen wrote the book Through Your Eyes, 2013, Grand Rapids, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, a thirty-year retrospective of Herman's art as seen through the eyes of his most dedicated collector.To learn more, explore A Video Portrait of the Artist and My Process – An Essay by Bruce Herman.Books by Bruce Herman*Makers by Nature: Letters from a Master Painter on Faith, Hope, and Art* (2025) *Ordinary Saints (*2018) *Through Your Eyes: The Art of Bruce Herman (2013) *QU4RTETS with Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Herman, Christopher Theofanidis, Jeremy Begbie (2012) A Broken Beauty (2006)Show NotesBruce Herman on Human Identity as MakersWe are created in the image of God—the ultimate “I Am”—and thus made to create.“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”To deny our creative impulse is to risk a deep form of spiritual unhealth.Making is not just for the “artist”—everyone is born with the capacity to make.Theological Themes and Philosophical FrameworksInfluences include Martin Buber's “I and Thou,” René Girard's scapegoating theory, and the image of God in Genesis.“We don't really exist for ourselves. We exist in the space between us.”The divine invitation is relational, not autonomous.Desire, imitation, and submission form the core of our relational anthropology.Art as Resistance to Consumerism“We begin to enter into illness when we become mere consumers.”Art Versus PropagandaCulture is sickened by passive consumption, entertainment addiction, and aesthetic commodification.Making a loaf of bread, carving wood, or crafting a cocktail are acts of cultural resistance.Desire“Anything is resistance… Anything is a protest against passive consumption.”Art as Dialogue and Submission“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”Submission—though culturally maligned—is a necessary posture in love and art.Engaging with art requires openness to transformation.“If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it.”The Transformative Power of Encountering ArtQuoting Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo: “You must change your life.”True art sees the viewer and invites them to become something more.Herman's own transformative moment came unexpectedly in front of a Rothko painting.“The best part of my work is outside of my control.”Scandal, Offense, and the Cross in ArtAnalyzing Andres Serrano's Piss Christ as a sincere meditation on the commercialization of the cross.“Does the crucifixion still carry sacred weight—or has it been reduced to jewelry?”Art should provoke—but out of love, not self-aggrandizement or malice.“The cross is an offense. Paul says so. But it's the power of God for those being saved.”Beauty, Suffering, and Holy RiskEncounter with art can arise from personal or collective suffering.Bruce references Christian Wiman and Walker Percy as artists opened by pain.“Sometimes it takes catastrophe to open us up again.”Great art offers not escape, but transformation through vulnerability.The Fire and the Rose: T. S. Eliot's InfluenceFour Quartets shaped Herman's artistic and theological imagination.Eliot's poetry is contemplative, musical, liturgical, and steeped in paradox.“To be redeemed from fire by fire… when the fire and the rose are one.”The collaborative Quartets project with Makoto Fujimura and Chris Theofanidis honors Eliot's poetic vision.Living and Creating from Love, Not Fear“Make from love, not fear.”Fear-driven art (or politics) leads to manipulation and despair.Acts of love include cooking, serving, sharing, and creating for others.“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Media & Intellectual ReferencesMakers by Nature by Bruce HermanFour Quartets by T.

What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people seek quick answers dispensed by “experts,” influencers, and gurus. But these one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.  In How to Fall in Love With Questions, Elizabeth Weingarten finds inspiration in a few famous lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, and then takes this insight – to love the questions themselves – to modern science to offer a fresh approach for dealing with the uncertainty in our lives. What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers? Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with seemingly unsolvable questions, not as a quick fix but to deepen our sense of being fully alive. Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of others, including a part of my own story after the events of 9/11 in New York City when I first turned to Rilke's letters, to chart a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty. Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained, How to Fall in Love with Questions challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don't know what will happen next.

I've already done a Lententide episode devoted to contraltos singing the music of Bach, but it seemed to me that in the upheaval of today's vengeful and war-hungry world, we could use another contemplative episode to provide us with meditative (and even tuneful!) music to calm our spirits. The tunefulness comes especially from recordings of favorite religious music by Gounod, Franck, and other 19th-century French composers sung by Camille Maurane, Marcel Journet, Richard Verreau, and Françoise Pollet. Also included are a live excerpt from Parsifal with Jon Vickers and Hans Knappertsbusch; the miraculous yet voiceless Hugues Cuénod performing an excerpt from the first of Couperin's Leçons de Ténèbres; the unsung German-British soprano Ilse Wolf in a live performance of the Bach Johannes-Passion conducted by Pablo Casals; Gundula Janowitz in a searing but brief aria from Mendelssohn's Paulus; excerpts from settings of the Stabat Maters of Haydn and Dvorák, sung by Alfreda Hodgson, Sena Jurinac, and Heinz Hoppe; the original version of Hendrik Andriessen's exquisite Miroir de Peine cycle for voice and organ featuring our beloved Elly Ameling; and Jennie Tourel in an excerpt from her ultra-rare recording of Hindemith's Das Marienleben preceded by Lotte Lehmanns's recitation of the same Rilke poem. The episode begins and ends with realizations by Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett of Baroque masters Henry Purcell and Pelham Humfrey sung, respectively, by Peter Pears and John Shirley-Quirk. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Der österreichische Lyriker Rainer Maria Rilke wird bis heute verehrt, nicht nur in Popsongs. Junge Menschen rezitieren heute auf den sozialen Medien seine Gedichte. – Der Emmentaler Jodok Vuille hat als Violinist das Netz erobert und geht jetzt auf Welttournee. Rilke ist in – auch 150 Jahre, nachdem er geboren wurde. Seine Gedichte wie «Der Panther» oder «Herbsttag» tauchen in Popsongs auf. Junge Menschen schwärmen auf TikTok und Instagram von Rilkes Texten und rezitieren seine Gedichte. Und Musik-Ikonen wie Lady Gaga lassen sich Rilke-Zitate tätowieren. Warum begeistert diese über hundert Jahre alte, oft melancholische Sprache eine junge Generation bis heute? Und was macht Rainer Maria Rilke für Instagram und TikTok tauglich? Eine Buch-Influencerin, ein Popsänger und ein Literaturwissenschaftler erzählen von der Faszination für Rilke. Der Emmentaler Jodok Vuille spielt Pop-Covers auf dem Cello. Seine Bühne: Instagram, TikTok und Co. Bekannt geworden ist er mit Musik-Videos vor spektakulärer Schweizer Bergkulisse. Mittlerweile hat er mehr als elf Millionen Follower auf den sozialen Medien. Er hat mit internationalen Musik-Grössen wie Lindsey Stirling und Teddy Swims gearbeitet, zieht Werbeverträge an Land und trat vor der katarischen Königsfamilie auf. Seinen Job als Musik- und Sportlehrer hängt er nun an den Nagel, um sich ganz auf «Jodokcello» zu konzentrieren und auf eine Welttournee zu gehen.

// Heute kommt sie endlich, die fünfte Ausgabe der Tryday-Reihe im FREI RAUS Podcast. Ich war letzte Woche schon leicht angeschlagen, als ich dieses Tages-Experiment gestartet habe, deshalb ist es auch keine körperliche Herausforderung, sondern eine kreative geworden: Ich habe ein Gedicht geschrieben. Eins ist sicher: Das hätte ich sonst in den nächsten zehn Jahren sicher nicht getan! Dieses Gedicht hier im Podcast vorzulesen, ist dabei definitiv noch Teil des Trydays, denn mir ist schon bewusst, dass ich nicht Rilke bin. Und obwohl ich ja durchaus schon Geschriebenes in die Öffentlichkeit getragen habe – ein Gedicht war noch nicht dabei ... // Mehr zum FREI RAUS Podcast, unter anderem auch die Möglichkeit, dich zum wöchentlich erscheinenden Newsletter anzumelden, findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Coverphoto by Blackforest Collective

Host, Lisa Colon DeLay and Mark S. Burrows discuss his new books and translation projects of poet Rainer Maria Rilke in a fascinating conversation.

Today's subject matter is so slippery and mysterious that even my guest, Dr Maya Ward, finds it hard to describe, though she's swimming in it. It concerns the aliveness of rivers and the rivers inside us; the nature of reality and realms invisible yet objectively real. It's about catching the whispers and shouts of the world with pen and paper. It's shamanic, ecstatic and emphatically esoteric. It's bloody wild – and I suggest bringing your passport because the places this convo will take you are far out. But also, deep within. If you love all things complex, paradoxical and perspective-shifting, I dedicate this episode to you

Wes & Erin continue their discussion of Rainer Maria Rilke's “You Who Never Arrived" and “Be Ahead of All Parting” (II.13 from his “Sonnets to Orpheus”), and whether—as Rilke suggests—death can be put in service of life, and suffering sourced as the principal wellspring of a joyful existence.

In his poem “You Who Never Arrived,” Rainer Maria Rilke suggests that we can mourn love as an unrealized possibility, and see this loss signified everywhere in the ordinary objects of the external world. In “Be Ahead of All Parting” (II.13 from his “Sonnets to Orpheus”), he seems to claim that poetry has the capacity to redeem such losses—and retrieve them, so to speak, from their underworld. Wes & Erin discuss these two classics, and whether—as Rilke suggests—death can be put in service of life, and suffering sourced as the principal wellspring of a joyful existence.

To live in the unresolved questions, tensions and contradictions of life is to be alive. To try to turn away from them, as if our lives could be question and confusion free is simply to drive the tensions inside us - to divide ourselves internally and to divide ourselves from life. We could see, as Lizzie says in this conversation, that "the tensions are life itself". So what does it take to live in the midst of life's complexity rather than turn away - to live life rather than pretend to live? That's the question we take up in this episode.

Here's our source for this week: “Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves….Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke Parker Palmer writes in reflection: But my deeper hope comes with Rilke's words “and the point is to live everything.” Of course that is the point! If I do not fully live the tensions that come my way, those tensions do not disappear: they go underground and multiply. I may not know how to solve them, but by wrapping my life around them and trying to live out their resolution, I open myself to new possibilities and keep the tensions from tearing me apart. There is only one alternative: an unlived life, a life lived in denial of the tensions that life brings. Here I play a masked role, pretending outwardly that I have no tensions at all while inwardly all those tensions I pretend not to have are ripping the fabric of my life. Pretending is another name for dividedness, a state that keeps us from cultivating the capacity for connectedness on which teaching depends. When we pretend we fall out of community with the common centre that is both the root and the fruit of teaching at its best. But when we understand that ‘the point is to live everything' we will recover all that is lost. From the Courage to Teach, Parker Palmer Photo by Jacky Nelson on Unsplash

Has modern humanity lost its connection to the world outside our heads? And can our experience of art and poetry help train us for a more elevated resonance with the cosmos?In today's episode, theologian Miroslav Volf interviews philosopher Charles Taylor about his latest book, Cosmic Connections: Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment. In it he turns to poetry to help articulate the human experience of the cosmos we're a part of.Together they discuss the modern Enlightenment view of our relation to the world and its shortcomings; modern disenchantment and the prospects of reenchantment through art and poetry; Annie Dillard and the readiness to experience the world and what it's always offering; how to hold the horrors of natural life with the transcendent joys; Charles recites some of William Wordsworth's “Tintern Abbey” and Gerard Manley Hopkins's “The Windhover”; how to become fully arrested by beauty; and the value we find in human experience of the world.Production NotesThis podcast featured Charles Taylor and Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Emily Brookfield, Alexa Rollow, Kacie Barrett, and Zoë HalabanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give
