Sentient

March 1, 2024March 6, 2024 Dcconnoisseur

Color of Passion by Hassam Abrishami I was listening to a podcast on the inestimable value of emotions and the gift of humanity to experience the length, breath and depth of these emotions, but we tend to believe that emotions should be ruled by logic and that to be logical means to exclude emotions. When… Continue reading Sentient

CONTENT LIVING

February 23, 2024February 25, 2024 Dcconnoisseur

"Tranquility" by Halina Grzyb It was my first year of junior secondary school, boarding house when a new senior joined from another school to win all the prizes that was possible in her class category. The only prize she did not receive on prize-giving day was for a subject she was not taking. I watched… Continue reading CONTENT LIVING

Half Volume

February 9, 2024October 22, 2024 Dcconnoisseur

Painting by Nora ampova I was reading a book about two writers who fell in love when I came across this phrase "half Volume" used to depict an existence devoid of its full capacity. As I started to ponder on the intricacies belying half Volume living, I likened the effect to listening to your favorite… Continue reading Half Volume

In the journey

February 2, 2024February 3, 2024 Dcconnoisseur

Healing rose by Carol Cavalaris A good person woke up today but that status may not be maintained before the day is over. We are talking 24 hours of good decision, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year!

Now Gratitude

December 22, 2023December 22, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Art work by Lali Giclèe An Instagram post read: "No amount of regret changes the past, no amount of anxiety changes the future, but any amount of gratitude changes the present."

COLOURS OF FRIENDS

December 15, 2023December 15, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Loving people come in various forms but I think the most potent disposition of love is found in friendship. In Aristotle's philosophy of friendship, it can exist for pleasure or utility, but the best kinds of friendship exist without purpose. Essentially, the best kind of friendship is the "useless one", a friendship that just is. This… Continue reading COLOURS OF FRIENDS

WE ARE A SYMPHONY

December 8, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

NFTs as a means to revolutionalize art provenance. Symphony: harmony in music or colour, a harmonious combination of elements... We have the capacity to inhabit as many versions of ourselves as we can create. For a long time now, I have been plagued with the constant meditation on the various forms we demonstrate living and… Continue reading WE ARE A SYMPHONY

DEFINITION

December 1, 2023December 1, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Adapted from Pinterest A statement of the meaning of a word, word group, or a sign, or symbol. Clarity of visual presentation, distinctness of outline or detail. See Individual Perspective... As a writer it is easy to conceptualize words as meanings and this is not a trait peculiar to writers alone, it is the very… Continue reading DEFINITION

How Quickly we lose the Awe

November 24, 2023November 27, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Art by Bo Feng Lin. In childhood, daily living was about curiosity and wonder. The need for sensuality, to experience by touch, taste, sound, and smell. The imaginary colours of dreams and make-believe often cloud even reality. For example, my brother's believed they really could be Spider-Man if they got bit by a spider and… Continue reading How Quickly we lose the Awe
