A quotation by Von Clausewitz, Karl

We repeat: strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one’s balance in spite of them. Even with the violence of emotion, judgment and principle must still function like a ship’s compass, which records the slightest variations however rough the sea.

Karl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) Prussian soldier, historian, military theorist

On War [Vom Kriege], Book 1, ch. 3 “On Military Genius” (1832) [tr. Howard/Paret (1976)]

#When you’ve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, #peace-of-mind is waiting there."

Les arbres m'ont appris à être humaine. Les pieds bien ancrés à la terre, des racines pour être solide même dans la tempête. La colonne vertébrale qui s'élève vers le ciel, les bras qui se déploient pour accueillir la lumière et embrasser le monde, la tête dans les étoiles.

Cette verticalité reliée à la fois à la terre et au ciel m'apporte un équilibre précieux pour me sentir assez sécure pour explorer le monde tout en restant assez libre pour m'ouvrir aux nouvelles possibilités.

Ça vous parle? Ça vous fait envie?

Bon week-end à toustes les magnifiques !

#Burning #Man #Coolest #Art #Installations #Ever #Our #World

30 of the coolest Burning Man art installations ever [pics]

By Katie Scott Aiton / August 14, 2013

#Art has become the defining feature of Burning Man, as the festival continues to be a testing ground for a growing circle of artists seeking engaged audiences. Burning Man art installations are guided by the themes chosen by the festival organizers each year. The most compelling works are large-scale constructions that are burned at the end of this extraordinary event.

Whether you’ve missed the boat on a ticket or don’t have the funds for this year’s event, hopefully this gallery will offer you a window into what goes down each year at Black Rock City. However, if you are one of the lucky people reading this in your disco sunnies about to head out to the desert — get inspired, get pumped, and enjoy.

This unique modern steel sculpture reaches 40 feet into the heavens and challenges all past engineering feats and techniques seen in previous years. The #dancing #lady has been crafted to celebrate #humanity, #feminine #beauty, and the #power that can be harnessed when there is #balance on our #earth.
