Borinska's Eavesdropping or the Desire to Make the Impossible Possible

Borinska in "Andrei Rublev" by Andrei Tarkovsky.

"Hearing means bowing our heads in humility which is capable of accepting what the other person is sowing on the ground of our mind and heart. Like our rich, silent, creative earth, we should offer ourselves to the Other."

Devoted to Andrei Tarkovsky and his humble listening to Andrei Roublev, to Plato and his enigmatic listening to various types of hedonists, to Christos Hatzis and his wondrous listening to friends musicians and poets, and to a few others that have been and are capable of conducting genuine dialogue that presupposes vigilant listening.

PS: The academic year has come to an end and I can take care of the items on the research list, from pieces on the Philebus and the Parmenides over to moral psychology in late Stoicism and the chapter on the Protagoras in my book on pleasure and hedonism. Additionally, one wishes to get to know more of the Canadian culture and nature. So great fun in all respects.
PPS: I cherish a gem on the early Stoa (if I have to choose only one), Malcolm Schofield's piece on the Present Moment, to which a gem on the later Stoics was recently added: Brad Inwood's 'Marcus Aurelius: What Kind of Stoic Are you?' Rarely does one come across pieces of art in interpretation of (ancient) philosophy. That undoubtedly belongs to the group.
