Sometimes, however, I think we lose sight of the purpose of the poster itself and instead create misguided monuments to our own ego, adding yet another piece to an already huge pile of production and consumption.
Everything written symbols can say has already passed by. They are like tracks left by animals. That is why the masters of meditation refuse to accept that writings are final. The aim is to reach true being by means of those tracks, those letters, those sings – but reality itself is not a sign, and it leaves no tracks. It doesn’t come to us by way of letters or words. We can go toward it, by following those words and letters back to what they came from. But so long as we are preoccupied with symbols, theories and opinions, we will fail to reach the principle.
I drove one about a year and a half ago. Great car. ALSO went for a walk last night and discovered a steel blue one lives around the corner. Brilliant!
Another installment in the “Simple Things Done Well” series. This is the Nissan Figaro, produced in 1989. I don’t own one, so I can’t speak to the car’s functionality or reliability, but every time I cross this image in my morgue file I stop and admire.
You could call this the car-version of the MUJI toothbrush, since they share so much aesthetically. Similarly, both are unbranded, which is interesting.
File under: dream car.
I’ll be going karting on Friday night with a few friends. If you’d like to enjoy some friendly competition (aka pay to be defeated by me), come out. I’m thinking it’ll be 8-10 PM-ish, I say “ish” because it’s generally quite busy.
That said, there’s a backup 24-hour kart track on the other side of Montreal that we can go to in case this one doesn’t work out.
Address: 5196 de la Savane; Montreal, QC; H4P 2M8
Time: 8-10 PM, Friday June 11…I don’t have reservations and don’t want this to be so formal. So if anything changes on my end, watch my Twitter stream and I’ll keep y’all up to date.
