Yoga is Scary
So I tried yoga a few weeks ago.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, you know, get more bendy. All was going well, until the call for backwards-facing-cobra or something to that effect. Unfortunately what I heard was something more like upside-down-manatee, or ungulate-grazing-in-reverse. As my neck hasn’t been the same since, evidently I wasn’t either of those two mammals in a past life.
More importantly, has anyone else noticed how grumpy some yoga aficionados look when you spot them doing ‘normal’ stuff like taking out the garbage? One would think serenity would prevail..
Mark my words, there’s something afoot.
“There is no art except for and by others”
In his essay What is Literature, Sartre theorizes that literature and other art is a social phenomena, in that an author writes for the reader and needs the reader for a complete performance of his or her work. As per Stern (1967), “all the words of a book could be read one by one and still the meaning of the work would not emerge, were it not that the reader’s mind gives it meaning”.
Sartre calls this a ‘re-invention’ saying that “it is the conjoint effort of author and reader which brings upon the scene that concrete and imaginary object which is the work of the mind.” Therefore.. There is no art except for and by others..
