Emil Cioran 8 April 1911 – 20 June 1995) was a Romanian philosopher and essayist, who published works in both Romanian and French. Cioran was born in Resinár (Rășinari), Szeben County, which was part of Austria-Hungary at the time. His work has been noted for its pervasive philosophical pessimism, and frequently engaged with issues of suffering, decay, and nihilism. Among his best known works are On the Heights of Despair (1934) and The Trouble with Being Born (1973). Cioran’s first French book, A Short History of Decay, was awarded the prestigious Rivarol Prize in 1950. The Latin Quarter of Paris was his permanent residence and he lived much of his life in isolation with his partner Simone Boué.  (Wikipedia.org)

“From a height of three meters, porcelain figurines are dropped on the ground, and the sound they make when they hit trips the camera shutter release.

The result: razor-sharp images of disturbing beauty—temporary sculptures made visible to the human eye by high-speed photography technology.”

This is the official statement that accompanies Martin Klimas‘ fourth photographic collection Porcelain Figurines.

LOVE IS

LOVE IS

Love is Feeling You As Me, and Me as You. Your Well-being is My Well-Being.
Love Embraces without Touching, Understands without Speaking, Knows without Seeing.
Your Pain and Joy is My Pain and Joy.  Love Shares All and Cares Selflessly. Unconditionally.
Love is My Responsibility for Your Self as My Self.  In Eternity we may be Separate, yet we are Forever One.

NIRVANA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

A hexagram (Greek) or sexagram (Latin) is a six-pointed geometric star figure . It is the compound of two equilateral triangles. The intersection is a regular hexagon.The hexagram is a mandala symbol called satkona yantra found on ancient South Indian Hindu temples. It symbolizes the nara-narayana, or perfect meditative state of balance achieved between Man and God, and if maintained, results in “moksha,” or “nirvana” (release from the bounds of the earthly world and its material trappings).

In Indian religions moksha (Sanskrit: मोक्ष mokṣa; liberation) or mukti (Sanskrit: मुक्ति; release —both from the root muc “to let loose, let go”) is the final extrication of the soul or consciousness (purusha) from samsara and the bringing to an end of all the suffering involved in being subject to the cycle of repeated death and rebirth (reincarnation). — Ref: Wikipedia.org
