Notes: 10/27/2024

A Lewism means this is a phrase I made up.

The brown circles were made by dipping the bottom of my espresso cup in a bit of espresso poured into the saucer at some coffee house. I did this many times in journal entries . Kind of a spiritual tattoo.

I figured I should ask you this, since you’re The Monk Person on my dash.

Do you think it’s possible that monks’ tonsure was sort of meant to suggest, or mimic, a halo?

The question occurred to me because I made the connection from watching Janet Stephens’s (forensic hairdresser) YouTube videos—specifically, ones about the Ancient Roman “seni crines” hairstyle, and Empress Sabina’s “Diana” hairstyle.

To quickly explain wtf I’m talking about:

- The “seni crines” was the Vestal Virgins’ hairstyle. Lots of Roman women’s hairstyles borrowed aspects of it, probably as a deliberate homage.

- Sabina’s “Diana” hairdo is almost exactly the same as a statue of the goddess—the main difference being that Diana wears a pearled diadem, while Sabina’s “diadem” is made from her own hair.

Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi! I am sorry for the late response. I'm actually not too sure. I read this article last year about tonsures:

Robert Mills, "The Signification of the Tonsure." In Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages, edited by P. H. Cullum and Katherine J. Lewism, Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2004.

However, it was in a physical book and I wasn't able to get it out of the library again.

Here is an excerpt from my dissertation on tonsure's significance:

Monastic gender presentation was also visually distinct from secular men. Jacqueline Murray argues ‘that male physical and emotional identity was linked to dress.’(1) Monks’ physical appearance displayed their monastic vocation through the wearing of habits, clean shaven faces, and tonsured scalps. Tonsures publicly announced a man had some sort of role in the Church as did the habit. Tonsures and clean shaven faces displayed their religious status. A hairy body demonstrated a man’s virility and masculinity.(2) By shaving their faces, monks deliberately took away a characteristic that physically distinguished them from secular men, instead taking on an appearance similar to prepubescent boys and women. Their lack of hair and choice of clothes were a constant reminder to all those around him, that the monk was stuck in an indefinite childhood and had an effeminate status.(3)

I think its possible there could have been some halo symbolism there? But I really can't remember I am afraid!

The illusion of impermanence

“12/6/21 Monday 7:34am

Home— “The illusion of impermanence Glazes the reality Of Infinity.”

A Lewism——

Arrived at— From a morning read note— “At 66 we are edgers—dancing on eternity’s edge.” This cold I have is Eternity breaking through the glaze. The end is coming.

11:40am Home again (from court) Learned in court today that a fellow criminal defense lawyer, Charles S., maybe age 55 and a nice guy, died of a heart attack in bed over the weekend. And eternity came through in a blinding flash. For a second, Impermanence lost its veneer. And we were face to face with the harsh thud of infinity. The meaning of what I had written earlier soared: “The illusion of impermanence… Dancing on eternity’s edge.”

[MF] Campfire Story

The setting sun had fallen behind the mountain but still cast an orange glow onto the clouds overhead and turned the fall leaves even more golden. The three friends had made camp in a clearing at the base of the mountain after a long day’s hike through the forest of the valley. Tomorrow they planned to make the final hike over the top and into the valley on the other side where they had started a week before. Tents were set up and a campfire made, which the three were gathered around finishing their evening meal of rehydrated hamburger goulash and steaming bowls of ramen mixed with instant potatoes.

“Pass me that bag of marshmallows again. There is no smell like that on Earth and the taste is so good I can't get enough,” said Nico placing his refilled stick back over the flames.

“Agreed!” said the other two, having saved this special treat for their last night on the trail.

The darkness was finally complete making the firelight seem brighter and somehow more mesmerizing.

“You know, what we need now is a good story to make this experience complete, just like the old trappers and pioneers used to do in the movies. Anyone got one to share?” Theo asked.

As the trio sat silently in thought, the forest around them seemed to be holding its breath in anticipation.

“My dad claims that his great-great-grandfather was one of those fur traders you mentioned. The story goes Jedediah once stayed with an Indian tribe for a couple of days while collecting his traps in the forests not far from here actually. There is one tale Jedediah heard from them memorable enough to pass it down. Let’s see if I can remember how my father told it to me...,” Connor finally said and paused to collect his thoughts before beginning.

The Story of the First Shaman

In the early days of the First People in this land, tribes were small and times were difficult. The land was rich in beauty and bounty, but it was also a treacherous and unforgiving place for the unwary and disrespectful, as it was for all creatures that dwelled here.

A young brave was out hunting one morning with his knife and spear, hoping to catch a rabbit for his family to eat that night. As he walked through the trees, he encountered a snake soaking in the warmth of the sun on a rock just off the trail. While it did not have much meat, he thought it might add to the night’s meal in case he didn’t find a rabbit.

“I know you must eat as do all creatures of the land, but if you spare me, I will give you knowledge that will help feed your people for generations,” the snake spoke as the brave raised his spear to kill it.

“How is it possible that I can understand you?” the brave asked, surprised that a snake could speak and none in his tribe had mentioned such a thing before.

“You are still young and not yet set in your ways, so your mind can still be taught things that are possible, not just things that already are," the snake replied as it flicked its tongue to taste the air.

“So what can I learn from you?” responded the brave now full of curiosity.

So the snake shared with him how to hunt the small creatures that dwelt on the ground and in burrows by moving silently like water and being patient before striking. The snake also gave him knowledge of poisons and medicines for its sense of smell was sensitive to the plants and things growing on the ground in the forest.

The brave thanked the snake and continued along the trail, pleased with how this knowledge would make his people better hunters and gatherers. He came to a clearing and saw an eagle perched on the top of a tall tree on the far edge of the clearing. Still in a state of wonderment from speaking with the snake, he decided to see if the eagle would also talk to him.

“Oh regal lord of the sky, I would learn from you if you are willing,“ he spoke beseechingly.

“What do you crave to know?” the eagle replied welcoming the respect and humbleness of the brave.

“I have not seen the world as you have, flying above the land like the clouds. I want to find the best hunting grounds, the nearest rivers, and to be more aware of life around me as I go through the forest. I want to see the world differently and learn my place in it," the young brave said in reply..

So the eagle shared these things with the brave, who now felt smaller in a bigger world, but happier because he saw how things worked together and better understood the role of his people in the land.

Still looking for a rabbit to feed his family, the brave continued through the forest. He stopped suddenly when he saw a rabbit sitting at the base of large tree. He raised his spear, but before he could throw it, a timber wolf that had been hidden in the brush nearby pounced, snapping the neck of the rabbit with its teeth in a single piercing bite.

“Please spare me O Mighty Hunter! I know you must eat as do all creatures of the land, but I do not want to die for I must feed my own family as you do," the brave blurted out, scared for his own life as the wolf dropped the rabbit that had been dangling from those terrible jaws onto the ground.

“You are the first among your people to talk to my kind rather than hunt us. We do not kill for sport or when there is no need. I will spare your life if you drop your spear so we can come to an understanding that you can share with your people which will benefit both our kind," he spoke to the brave in reply.

They both sat on the ground and talked as the sun made its way across the sky and after a time the brave felt that a true friendship between their kind might even be possible someday. The wolf taught him how to stay hidden when stalking prey, told him that hunting in packs would allow his people to catch animals bigger than one person could alone, and about the importance of consuming every part of the kill so nothing was wasted, thus honoring the life that had been taken. As a parting gesture, the wolf picked up the slain rabbit and dropped it at the feet of the brave before racing off into the forest.

With rabbit in hand, the brave returned to the camp of his tribe and told the elders as they sat around the campfire of the wonders he had experienced that day. He shared with them the things he had learned and his vision of how the First People were a part of a sacred circle of life, that all life in the land was precious and important to all other life around it. The elders asked him to be their knowledge seeker and gave him the title of shaman. From that day on, he adorned himself with reminders of the forest creatures and what they had shared with him: a carved totem of a snake coiled around a branch for the knowledge of plants and the medicines that could help his people, a feather from an eagle so he could see far and be reminded of his place in the land, and a pelt from a wolf over his head so he would be reminded to work together to achieve a goal as well as the importance of sharing all things. A small wolf pup he had found alone one day in the forest walked at his side, a faithful companion as he wandered the land seeking more knowledge to share with his people.

“Wow Connor, that was some tale,” his friends said when the story was finished, suddenly more aware of all the sounds in the forest outside the circle of the light cast by the fire but feeling at peace rather than fearful.

"Do you have any more tales like that?" Theo asked.

"Maybe, but you'll have to wait until our next outing," he replied with a smile and changed the conversation to the trail they wanted to take the next morning.

As the fire died out and the friends went to their tents, each was deep in thought knowing that every camping trip they took from now on would not, could not, ever be the same.

Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them 2 Sẽ Có Thêm Nhân Vật Phản Diện Mới

Dàn diễn viên của Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 vừa kết nạp thêm một thành viên nữa, được biết vai diễn của diễn viên này sẽ là một nhân vật phản diện hoàn toàn mới.

Như chúng ta đã biết, Fatastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 đã được bấm máy vào giữa tháng 7 vừa qua, những hình ảnh đầu tiên trên phim trường của bộ phim cũng xuất hiện và được chia sẻ từ  cuối tháng trước, điều này cũng đồng nghĩa với việc tin tức về bộ phim sẽ xuất hiện nhiều hơn nữa. Theo như thông tin mới nhất thì nam diễn viên mang 2 dòng máu Đan Mạch và Nhật Bản – David Sakurai vừa chính thức được chọn cho vai diễn phản diện mới trong phần phim này, được biết nhân vật này sẽ có mối liên hệ với tên phù thủy hắc ám Grindlewald (Do Johny Depp thủ vai). Vẫn chưa rõ rằng David Sakura đã bắt đầu quá trình quay phim hay chưa và quá trình sản xuất sẽ được dự tính kéo dài trong bao lâu. Hiện nay nam diễn viên David Sakura đã xuất hiện trong series Iron Fist trên kênh Netflix, nhân vật của anh là Scythe, anh cũng sẽ xuất hiện trong 2 dự án khác được lên song trong thời gian tới là Acts of Vegeance và Unbroken: Path to Redemption.

David Sakurai được chọn để vào vai Krall - một nhân vật phản diện mới

  Tin tức này được đăng tải trên tờ Deadline vào sáng ngày hôm nay, theo tờ báo này thì nhân vật mà David Sakurai thủ vai có tên là Krall. Nhân vật này được miêu tả như “ một trong những tay sai tham vọng và u uất nhất của tên phù thủy hắc ám Gellert Grindlewald. Bộ phim sẽ được lấy bối cảnh vào năm 1927, chỉ một vài tháng sau khi các sự kiện trong Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them vừa kết thúc, Sau khi nhà nghiên cứu sinh vật huyền bí Newt Scamander (do Eddie Redmayne thủ vai) phát hiện ra Grindlwald và giúp bắt MACUSA bắt giữ hắn, Grindlewald đã thề hắn sẽ trốn thoát, và nội dung của phần 2 sẽ liên quan đến việc này. Để ngăn chặn tên phù thủy nguy hiểm, Albus Dumbledore (phiên bản trẻ do Jude Law thủ vai) sẽ cùng hợp sức với Newt Scamander.

Nam tài tử Jude Law sẽ hóa thân thành Dumbledore hồi trẻ

  Hồi tháng 6 vừa rồi, nhà sản xuất cũng đã thông báo rằng bộ phim sẽ cần cả Dumbledore trong độ tuổi teen nữa, dù vậy vẫn chưa rõ là nhân vật này đã tìm được diễn viên hay chưa. Danh sách nhân vật sẽ xuất hiện trong phần này cũng sẽ gồm có nhân vật anh trai của Newt Scamader do Callam Turner thủ vai, Leta Lestrange – mối tình đầu của Newt do Xoe Kravitz cũng sẽ xuất hiện trong phần phim này, bên cạnh đó Katherine Waterston cũng sẽ quay trở lại với vai diễn Auror Tina Goldstein và Alison Sudol trong vai Queenie Goldstein, anh chàng thợ làm bánh dân “No-Maj” dễ thương Jacob Kowalski do Dan Fogler cũng sẽ xuất hiện. Song song với các nhân vật cũ thì nhiều nhân vật mới cũng sẽ được giới thiệu trong phần phim thứ 2 này ví dụ như: nữ diễn viên gốc Hàn Quốc Claudia Kim sẽ vào vai một cô gái trẻ bị hấp dẫn bởi những gánh xiếc của pháp sưm Olafur Darri Olafsson trong vai Skender – người chủ gánh xiếc, Ingvar Sigurdsson trong vai một tay săn tiền thưởng , Willian Nadylam trong vai một phù thủy mới tên Yusuf Kama và Kevin Guthrie trong vai Abernathy – người đứng đầu của cơ quan pháp thuật Mỹ. Các địa điểm trong mà các sự kiện của phim xảy ra sẽ được đặt ở Anh và Paris, và các cảnh quay cũng đã được thực hiện ở các địa điểm này, ngoài ra thì có vẻ như nội dung phim cũng sẽ có một số nội dung sẽ xảy ra ở Mỹ, trừ trường hợp nhân vật Abernathy sẽ ra nước ngoài.

Hâu hết các nhân vật ở phần phim trước đều quay trở lại trong phần 2

  Đạo diễn của phần phim đầu tiên – David Yates cũng sẽ quay trở lại để đảm vị trí đạo diễn cho Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2, kịch bản sẽ được chính tay nhà văn J.K. Rowling soạn thảo và sáng tác. David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloes và Lionel Wigram sẽ tham gia vào quá trình sản xuất của bộ phim, Tim Lewism Neil Blair, Rick Senat và Danny Cohen sẽ chịu trách nhiệm là những nhà điều hành quá trình sản xuất. Phần phim này sẽ được quay tại phim trường của hãng Warner Bros – Warner Bros Studio Leavesden – ngôi nhà của thế giới phép thuật kỳ ảo và huyền diệu, cả 9 bộ phim có liên quan đến Harry Potter đều được quay tại đây kể từ phần phim đầu tiên của Harry Potter được bấm máy. Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them 2 sẽ có mặt tại các rạp chiếu phim kể từ ngày 16 tháng 11 năm 2018, bộ phim sẽ đối đầu trực tiếp với Widows – bộ phim hình sự, giật gân của hãng 20th Century Fox với sự tham gia diễn xuất của Viola Davis.

Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them là một trong những dự án được mong chờ nhất trong năm 2018

  Hợp tác làm việc với đạo diễn David Yates là một đội ngũ sáng tạo đầy tài năng bao gồm các tên tuổi lớn trong ngành điện ảnh, và dành rất nhiều giải thưởng danh giá như đạo diễn hình ảnh Philippe Rousselot – người thắng tượng vàng Oscar cho hạng mục đạo diễn hình ảnh xuất sắc nhất; người ba lần thắng giải Oscar cho hạng mục thiết kế sản xuất xuất sắc nhất – Stuart Craig; người đã chiến thắng 3 giải BAFTA -  biên tập Mark Day; nhà thiết kế trang phuc 4 lần đoạt giải Oscar – Colleen Atwood; nhà giám sát hiệu ứng hình ảnh đã từng chiến thắng giải Oscar – Tim Burke và Christian Manz – người từng nhận được đề cử cho hạng mục giám sát hiệu ứng hình ảnh tại giải Oscar.
