Sophus Helle Going Blank

When Sophus’s grandfather died, he left behind an old encyclopedia with a mysteriously empty page. In this episode, Sophus talks about happens when we run out of words, as when the mind is made blank by old age or when our loved ones die and we grieve them in silence. Empty pages are a powerfully symbol. They can mark both an ending and a new beginning, they can represent hope as well as grief. Blank pages are everywhere, and surprisingly beautiful. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle Sound editing...

Lewis Carrol The Hunting of the Snark

"The last of the crew needs especial remark, Though he looked an incredible dunce: He had just one idea-but, that one being `Snark‘, The good Bellman engaged him at once." `The Hunting of the Snark‘ (1876) is a nonsense poem by `Alice Adventures in Wonderland‘ author Lewis Carroll.

Ursula Le Guin Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu

een nieuwe interpretatie van Ursula K. Le Guin

De Tao Te Ching is na 2.500 jaar nog altijd een van de meest vertaalde en geliefde spirituele boeken. Als jong meisje raakte Ursula K. Le Guin (wereldberoemd vanwege haar veelvuldig bekroonde oeuvre van science fiction, fantasy en speculatieve fictie) gefascineerd door de bijzondere editie die haar vader bezat. Toen ze oud genoeg was om het te gaan lezen bleek het prachtige schatten te bevatten en werd het ook haar dierbaarste boek. In de ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige en korte teksten ligt het mysterie...
