<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12" title="peixegrande_capa" src="http://bussoladelivros.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/peixegrande_capa.jpg" alt="peixegrande_capa" width="150" height="200" />Fantasia e realidade se misturam na trama de Daniel Wallace</strong></p>
<p>Tim Burton levou uma adaptação da história do livro &#8220;Peixe Grande&#8221;, de Daniel Wallace, aos cinemas em 2003. O filme, assim como o livro, mostrava o relacionamento difícil entre Edward Bloom e seu filho, William. O pai sempre foi um mestre em contar histórias maravilhosas que misturavam o que realmente havia acontecido com toques fantásticos que tornavam a narrativa sempre mais interessante. E era exatamente isso que incomodava Will: nunca saber, de fato, quem era seu pai (ou mesmo até que ponto uma trama era verídica ou produto da mente de Edward).</p>
<p>Mesmo quem não gostou da ambientação feita por Burton vai se surpreender com a história original de Wallace. Dividido em capítulos que narram tanto as histórias do passado quanto as conversas que Will tem com o pai, que está bastante mal de saúde, o livro mostra de forma mais palpável a relação entre os dois. Ed Bloom nunca perde a chance de fazer uma piada ou de contar um dos &#8220;causos&#8221; pelos quais garante já ter passado. Uma das grandes diferenças em relação à produção para o cinema é que, na trama de Wallace, Ed não é uma pessoa tão perfeita quanto o personagem de Ewan McGregor se mostra, o que é ótimo, porque realmente torna o personagem mais real. Os deslizes de caráter do protagonista mostram que ele é humano, imperfeito.</p>
<p>Entre outras mudanças do roteiro das telonas e o livro é que não apenas a noiva de Will não existe no papel como também trechos inteiros da trama são bem mais pesados do que Burton mostrou, como o lugar que fica no meio do &#8220;caminho&#8221; entre a cidade natal de Ed e qualquer outra localidade para onde se queira ir fora dali. Enquanto no filme as pessoas apenas deixam seus sapatos para trás, o texto de Wallace faz uma metáfora bem mais forte sobre a dificuldade de sair de uma situação confortável para um lugar novo e desconhecido.</p>
<p><strong>Coisas legais:<br />
</strong>- As metáforas que Edward usa em suas histórias<br />
- Ter dado origem a um filme com o Ewan McGregor que, mesmo com algumas diferenças, é tão bom quanto</p>
<p><strong>Coisas chatas:<br />
</strong>- Tá brincando, né?  O livro é ótimo<strong></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><blockquote><p>So Sarah Palin the Republican Vice-Presidential Cadidate likes to hunt and shoot bears. And Putin, premier of Russia, released photos today of him having just killed a tiger. What&#8217;s to say? Apart from all the usual ethical stuff, I see them as cowards and bullies. Intelligent primates with modern guns will always win against animals. Take away their weapons and give them spears or axes. And then, if they win, make sure that every scrap of meat is eaten and every sinew and patch of hide used productively. And give prayers of gratitude. &#8211; Naively, I want these people to be more empathic and, as leaders, lead us into a more harmonious future.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been a fan of William Bloom&#8217;s ever since I participated in his workshops and courses some years ago. His book, <em>Money, Heart and Mind</em> left a profound influence on me (and helped me get a 1st for some university coursework). Here&#8217;s a taste of his profound thinking, lifted from <a href="http://cygnusreview.net/index.php?target=pages&#38;page_id=william_bloom_1710">the Cygnus Review</a>, in relation to the world&#8217;s spiritual traditions -</p>
<blockquote><p>We are the first generation ever that is able to look at all the world’s spiritual traditions. This gives us a unique opportunity to see the core practices that they share. Despite all their differences – for example, from meditation to ecstatic dance – there are great similarities. It is like sport. No matter which particular sport you practice – golf, swimming, tennis – you still need to practice certain core skills such as fitness, muscle tone and stamina. Spirituality also has its core skills. Let me ask you three simple questions that illustrate this. The answers to these questions will show whether you have the basis of Spiritual Practice.</p>
<p>(But why, you may ask, would you want to do spiritual practice? Because, like piano or yoga or football, you want to get better at it! To become more awake and conscious. To be more connected. To soak in the beauty and wonder.)</p>
<p>Anyway have a look at these three questions and answer Yes or No:</p>
<ul>
<li>Spiritual Connection: Do you connect with the pure wonder of existence?</li>
<li>Reflection: Do you reflect on your development and consciousness – and seek to guide them?</li>
<li>Service: Do you try to live a life that is of benefit to others?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answer ‘Yes’ to those three questions then, according to most traditions, you already understand and observe the three core skills of Spiritual Practice. Do them regularly and with consciousness and you actually have an ongoing and grounded rhythm.</p></blockquote>
<p>I myself am a fairly lazy practitioner (William&#8217;s wisdom doesn&#8217;t go away, though), which is probably why I can be prone to depression. Thank goodness for good friendships. I suspect we need robust spiritual practice to stay grounded, equanimous and compassionate to contend with turbulence, as alerted to in the previous post. It&#8217;s time I engaged with spiritual practice more.</p>
