Unknown to 99 Percent: Jejune
adj. Barren, empty, dry, uninteresting, insipid, shallow, wanting pith, lacking quality, devoid of sense. Comes from the Latin jejunus, fasting, hungry, empty, barren, dry; and is probably related to the second part of the French dejeuner, breakfast, by derivation to breakfast.
American Zen Bones: Maezumi Roshi Stories (1999)
28. Large, Lumbering
Maezumi was holding dharma dialogue in the Zendo. He had recently ordained a large, lumbering fellow as a monk. The monk took his place in line, and at his turn came forward and asked, “Roshi, I want to contemplate the deep meaning of life.” Laughing, Roshi replied, “For you, the shallow meaning is enough.”
An Image that Moves Me
Image: Henry Robinson, ex-slave (Library of Congress)
“The rehearsal process began with photographs of screaming sports fans, boxing fights, raves and snipers… and thus a confrontation with bodies that are out of control or reacting to catastrophes. Alibi is movement research in extreme situations; the rehearsals were also confronted by the shock and the aftermath of the terror acts in the USA. In her first work for the Schauspielhaus Zürich, Meg Stuart looks at the moment in which being a multimedia witness turns into personal involvement and the “wallflowers/observers” of the daily news become active. She creates an exciting, raw and depressing study of the emotional poverty and increasing tendency towards violence that points to a loss of security and the paths of social pressure. Omnipresent violence – otherwise hidden in Stuart’s pieces – is shown and celebrated. Alibi exercises are existential acts of violence in this highly direct work.”—Ubu Web
