Creating a magazine cover was absolutely fun!
Geworfenheit
The German word means 'thrown down' and was used by Heidegger to describe the accidental nature of human existence in a world that has not yet been made our own by conscious choce. We have no control of much of our existence. Some of the obvious but ignored facticities include the era in which we are born, our gender and sex, our mother tongue, and our body type.
The ancients used the word fortune to refer to these and other 'accidents' of existence that have such a powerful influence on our sense of our freedom and capacity to create our own destiny.
Facticity creates a set of an existential challenges.
Our freedom is in our response to such conditions.

Brief stop in Cambria for a cappuccino. For a recap, we just visited the Hearst Castle and we're now going to Solvang and then to Santa Barbara.
The deepest, most fundamental question, positioned at the foundation of everything we do, think and desire in our lives is: "What is the meaning of life?" Most people bury this question under a lifelong search for pleasures and comforts through food, sex, family, money, honor, control and knowledge. However, the question about the meaning and point in life always awaits us. It usually reels its face in life's most desperate moments. The fact that online searches increased for "what is the meaning of life" during the times of the 2008 financial crash, and the 2011 Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street protests shows how when crisis strikes, when the status quo is breached with disorder and imbalance, then more people find themselves opening up to answers to this most existential, foundational question to our very being. The wisdom of Kabbalah was made for answering the question about the meaning of life. Using its methodology, we can discover the eternal world where we sense harmony, tranquility and perfection, a world hidden from our five inborn senses that holds the answer to the age-old question about the meaning of life.

Samuel Beckett was an influential Irish playwright, novelist and poet. Renowned for his minimalist style and existential themes, Beckett revolutionised modern theatre with groundbreaking works like Waiting for Godot and Endgame. www.theirishnation.com/samuel-beckett
53two was grown from acting school Manchester Actors' Platform, MAP. The school was established to provide affordable, professional services for actors after so many of these were unobtainable, inaccessible or unaffordable. After producing our first show under the banner MAP Productions in 2016, a whole new tier of the company was born. www.53two.com
Samuel Beckett (1906–1989) was an Irish novelist, dramatist, short story writer, theatre director, poet, and literary translator. His literary and theatrical work features bleak, impersonal, and tragicomic experiences of life, often coupled with black comedy and nonsense. His work became increasingly minimalist as his career progressed, involving more aesthetic and linguistic experimentation, with techniques of stream of consciousness repetition and self-reference. He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the Theatre of the Absurd. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Beckett

Self-Portrait with the Spanish Flu (1919)
Artist: Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch worked as an artist for over sixty years. He was creative, ambitious and hardworking. He produced nearly two thousand paintings, hundreds of graphic motifs and thousands of drawings. In addition, he wrote poems, prose and diaries. The Scream, Madonna, Death in the Sickroom and the other symbolist works from the 1890s have made him one of the most famous artists of our time.
Edvard wanted to become an artist early on, and there was no doubt that he had talent. But his father refused to allow him to follow his dream, so Edvard began studying engineering. But already after one year he chose to defy his father, and switched from engineering college to the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Kristiania, now Oslo.
It was obvious to everyone in the Norwegian art community that the young man showed rare talent. In 1883, at the age of 20, he debuted at Høstutstillingen (The Autumn Exhibition). In 1886, Munch became acquainted with author and anarchist Hans Jæger, a leading figure in the Kristiania bohemian community. The bohemian community convinced Munch that the arts had to renew themselves to reach people and to have relevance in their lives. In the same year he exhibited the painting The Sick Child. This generated debate!
Some acclaimed The Sick Child a work of genius, while others deemed it unfinished and unworthy of exhibition. Today it is considered to mark Munch's breakthrough. It was here that demonstrated the independence and willingness to break fresh ground.
From this point until his final brush strokes, his artistic practice can be summed up in just word: experimentation. Munch did not care about established "rules" for so-called good art. His techniques in both painting and graphics were innovative.
From people's emotional life to agriculture and landscape
Henrik Ibsen's plays about humanity's existential challenges inspired Munch. Themes such as death, love, sexuality, jealousy and anxiety were central to his early images. Some themes sprang from personal experience. For example, Death in the Sickroom and The Sick Child are linked to his memory of his mother and sister's illnesses and early deaths.
After 1910, Munch chose a quieter and secluded life. At his own farms at Ekely in Oslo and in Hvitsten, he found entirely new motifs, such as agriculture, working life and landscapes. Man in the Cabbage Field is a typical example from this period.

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

base on Minoru Betsuyaku
Directed by ISHII KOICHI
Zo (The Elephant)
Premiere: 1962
This is the story of a patient who is a victim of the atomic bombing and has a strange desire to show people on the street the keloid scar on his back and use it as a way to win sympathy and applause. His nephew tries to stop him from such actions and convince him that people neither love nor hate or are repulsed by the atomic bombing victims. People are just unquestioningly kind and understanding, so we victims of the atomic bomb should be strong and suffer our pain in silence, he tells his uncle. From the contrasting feelings of these two characters we sense the estranged world these victims have fallen into and, by extension the existential anxiety that the entire world must bear. It is a work that deals with these questions in style strung taught with silence.

EXISTENTIAL THREATS: PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS
In a hyperconnected world rife with virulent pathogens, preparedness is our best defense. After Ebola roared through West Africa and the novel coronavirus brought the world to its knees, the most pressing question for the safety of the global population is this: What have we learned—and how can we better prepare for the next hyper-contagious disease?

The Universe doesn’t give a damn about this man and he knows it. “Man is but a reed,” said Blaise Pascal, “but he is a thinking reed.” Sounds noble doesn’t it? But there’s a catch. Remember what Craig the puppeteer in “Being John Malkovich said to the chimp, “...consciousness is a terrible curse. I think. I feel. I suffer.” Aye, there’s the rub. It hurts to know that the universe doesn’t give a damn about you. But grow up man and accept it. And quit your existential whining!
Thank you, Liz! Our beautiful cranes came finally -- truly snail mail. sometimes it takes a little longer for things to get to certain parts of Montana. I love them both. it was difficult to tell which one was for me and which was Tim's -- but we settled on the orange for me, the red for Tim.
Here, my crane is contemplating the idea of Peace ... contemplating how peace might have manifested in it's own life, now that it has landed in Montana ... in the Rocky Mountains, where snow muffles loud jarring sounds, even in March .... contemplating how peace might show up in the near future, now that it has landed right smack dab in the middle of the migratory flyway - amidst snow geese, sandhill cranes, raptors and songbirds -- a huge highway of song, lust, deep color and wide, ribbon-like peace.
She -- this orange creature of angles and flexibility -- believes in peace. Believes peace is possible. Very possible. Even likely. Maybe that makes her an idealist. Maybe that makes her a dreamer. She has heard of dreams coming true ...
This series of paper crane images are for Liz's (Eshu's) amazing Paper Crane Project. Please check it out -- it's going to be something even more wonderful as more and more people receive their cranes, made by Liz, and share what their cranes are doing once out of the package!
