[pianotech] Slightly OT: Movie recommendation

[Encore Pianos]

The discussion began when David Love was commenting on a film that, in his
mind, paralleled our own commitment to craft in piano work, if one is
serious about their work as a lifelong endeavor.   Work can be a spiritual
activity and  is not necessarily the same thing as religious activity, nor
is it political.  Being purposeful in our work is very relevant to what we
do.  

 

I'm all for Inner Silliness and practice Humor as a spiritual activity every
day (I hope you realize I'm poking you a little bit now.. J)  As for Inner
Stillness, why wait til you are dead when you can have all the fun now?

Please, o please, keep Religion (and Politics) out of this forum.

 

Please.

p.s. Movies,too. I love to gab about movies, but there are approx. 2 zillion
sites on the Internet for movie talk.

 

p.p.s. Inner Silliness more important than Inner Stillness any day, IMHO.
Plenty of time for Inner Stillness after you're dead.

Thumpe, here's a link to Rotten Tomatoes, and the review of "Jiro Dreams of
Sushi".  Clink on the link to the movie trailer and see if you think Jiro is
engaged in meditative activity.

It may seem ironic that one cannot engage with complete attentiveness
without the accompaniment of inner stillness.  You can't have mindfulness
while the inner chatter is still going on. 

 

We do have the opportunity to bring beauty into the lives of others through
our work and our being.
