A Thread of History: Teahouse Poems to Nurture the Past and Rewild the Spirit
Fragrant Time (Part I)
Show Notes
  • What is the link between our sense of the Past and our understanding of Nature? I begin a new season of the podcast with a meditation on this topic, which is also what one could call the ''theme'' of our brand new boutique called Divina Natura 
  • I tell you about this new little shop which is located in Old Quebec, Canada, and about the history of the boutique itself, which could be read as a kind of literary and emotional ''detective story''
  • We will also examine the meaning behind a wonderful quote by the great Alan Watts on the nature of the artist experience and of Zen art in particular, and tie that in with the beautiful meditations on the ''art of lingering'' and of perceiving the world and ourselves by writer Byung- Chul Han
