la Vie quotidienne : le socle sur lequel nous construisons nos grands projets - Une fois engagé sur le chemin de la lumière !

Une fois engagé sur le chemin de la lumière, efforcez-vous de ne jamais retourner en arrière. Et pour ne pas retourner en arrière, la méthode la plus sûre est de se montrer vigilant dans les moindres actes de la vie quotidienne. Il est inutile de concevoir de nobles projets s’ils ne sont pas soutenus, nourris chaque jour par une bonne attitude intérieure, et par un bon comportement extérieur aussi. Chaque pensée, chaque sentiment, chaque acte est important. Vous devez bien comprendre que votre existence est non seulement une continuité, mais aussi un ensemble dont chaque élément a des liaisons secrètes avec tous les autres ; aucun n’est isolé. La vie quotidienne constitue le socle sur lequel vous construisez tous vos grands projets. Que vous vous destiniez à la philosophie, à l’art, à la politique, à la science, à la spiritualité, il ne suffit pas que vous arriviez à acquérir des compétences dans ces différentes matières, c’est toute votre vie qui doit nourrir votre vocation.

 100.000 cure-dents, et 35 ans de travail, pour une sculpture cinétique incroyable !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Il y a trente-cinq ans, l’artiste Scott Weaver avait déjà commencé à travailler sur cette sculpture cinétique incroyablement complexe, qu’il continue de modifier et d’élargir encore aujourd’hui. La sculpture élaborée est composé de plusieurs «visites» qui se déplacent des balles de ping-pong dans les quartiers, les lieux historiques et des symboles emblématiques de San Francisco, tous recréés avec un peu de colle, des cure-dents, et une quantité incroyable d’ingéniosité. Il admet qu’il y a plusieurs sculptures de cure-dents, mais aucun n’a les composants cinétiques uniques qu’il a construit. Via son site Weaver estime qu’il a passé plus de 3.000 heures sur le projet, et les cure-dents proviennent  d’un peu partout dans le monde  :

" J’ai utilisé différentes marques de cure-dents en fonction de ce que je construis. J’ai aussi beaucoup d’amis et membres de la famille qui recueillent des cure-dents dans leurs déplacements pour moi. Par exemple, certains des arbres du Golden Gate Park sont fabriqués à partir de cure-dents en provenance du Kenya, Maroc, Espagne, Allemagne de l’Ouest et de l’Italie. Le cœur à l’intérieur du Palais des Beaux-Arts est faite de cure-dents que les gens avaient jetés à notre mariage ".

Une compagnie qui recrutait du personnel, a posé la question suivante à 200 candidats ( autant hommes que femmes ) et leur a demandé une réponse écrite.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             De retour à la maison, dans votre voiture sport, en plein milieu d'une terrible tempête, vous passez devant un arrêt de bus et vous y voyez 3 personnes  :

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 b) Un médecin, bon ami à vous, qui vous a sauvé la vie il y a quelques années.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              c) L'être le plus beau que vous n'ayez jamais eu la chance de rencontrer, la personne à qui vous avez toujours rêvé et avec laquelle vous seriez disposé à passer le reste de votre vie.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Comme votre auto est du genre sport, vous pouvez  prendre un seul passager ... Que feriez-vous  ?

b) Le médecin qui vous a sauvé la vie, vous pourriez toujours le rétribuer d'une manière ou d'une autre.
c) Mais, comment faire pour ne pas perdre cet amour parfait ?

(ne trichez pas, regardez la réponse ci-dessous, seulement après avoir choisi !)

Voici la réponse de la seule personne qui a fait un excellent choix  :

" Je donne les clés de mon auto au médecin pour qu'il amène la dame âgée à l'hôpital et je reste pour attendre l'autobus avec la personne de mes rêves"

La 13ème journée «sans pantalons» s'est déroulée dans une soixantaine de villes du monde entier. Des milliers de personnes ont participé à cette manifestation loufoque, lancée à New York en 2002. En France, rendez-vous était donné sur la ligne 1 du métro parisien.

 
C'est un couple âgé qui est étendu dans le lit, un soir ...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Le mari veut s'endormir, mais l'épouse se sent plutôt romantique et a d'autres intentions ...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Elle lui dit : "Tu avais l'habitude de me tenir la main quand nous étions plus jeunes" ... Le mari lui donne la main, mais ne veut que s'endormir.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Elle rajoute : " Et tu avais l'habitude de m'embrasser"  ... Un peu irrité, il s'approcha et lui donna un petit baiser sur la joue, puis il se retourna pour se rendormir.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Un peu plus tard, elle lui dit : "Et parfois tu aimais bien me mordiller dans le cou aussi " ... Soudain, le mari repousse les couvertures et se lève !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Surprise, elle lui demande où il va ?
Il lui répond : "Chercher mes dents ma chérie ...  chercher mes dents" !!!

Loin du monde  ...
