Attention is "the rarest and purest form of generosity." The act of giving oneself-turning away from one's own self and turning toward the world, making a place for others by placing one's own self in a subordinate position- is true attention.
Dear Celia, thank you so much for your support! :) Simone Weil was a such a wonderful soul. I would recommend reading the book by Robert Zaretsky, I think it's a perfect introduction into the world of Weil :)
Thank you so much. I am reading Aristotle's Rhetoric right now and am struggling a bit with it. I find it much drier than his Poetics. I am also reading Everything Beautiful by Ella Frances Sanders and Cacophony of Bone by Kerri Ni Dochartaigh. I would love to see a video by you about your To Be Read list or even what you have read so far this year. I love your YouTube channel - you are very inspiring. Best to you and your family...
Thank you. I am a new subscriber, looking forward to reading Dante with your guidance in the New Year. I chose this audio to listen to as the first "chocolate" in what will clearly be a box of delights yet to come. I chose well! -And I am grateful.
I really want to read Simone Weil now! Thank you for this!
