The Shape of a Life Well-Lived
Kisah filosofis ini mengajarkan bahwa hidup ideal bukan sekadar tujuan, tetapi kualitas dalam perjalanan. Ini melibatkan akar yang dalam, tindakan kebaikan, pengertian akan kekosongan, keseimbangan antara ekstrem, cinta yang membangun, makna dalam penderitaan, dan kesadaran akan momen saat ini. Teruslah hidup, seperti aliran sungai.https://legawa.com/2026/05/09/the-shape-of-a-life-well-lived/

Some efforts return something visible right away, while others settle into the ground before anything shows. The language comes from another time; the understanding extends beyond it. There is a way of placing something carefully without needing it to come back to you.

This YouTube video, my latest, is about my first-ever trip to Bolpur and Shantiniketan in West Bengal. We saw the Santhal dancers, listened to the Baul singers, and visited the old home of Rabindranath Tagore.

"This is the story of a #Russian #Jewish woman who made her home in #Calcutta in the 1930s, and eventually in #Santiniketan, with her #Bengali husband and the family they founded together. It is a #memoir, with a preface and afterword by the #memoirist’s granddaughter #ChandanaDey, who traces the historical background of #Jews of the #RussianEmpire in the 19th and early 20th centuries and describes the kind of social milieu to which her grandmother had to adjust in her adopted country.
#KetakiSarkar was born #KotiaJonas (or Yonas, as the name was used by some branches of the family) to Russian Jewish parents in #Moscow in 1907. She was named “Ketaki” by #RabindranathTagore, and she held on to the name for the rest of her life, like the sari that became her all-time attire."

Rabindranath Tagore
Unser Selbst muss, um zu leben, durch einen ewigen Wechsel und ein Wachstum der Form gehen, das wir ein dauerndes Sterben und ein dauerndes Geboren werden, welches zu gleicher Zeit vor sich geht, nennen können. Wenn wir uns dem Tod widersetzen, so rufen wir ihn in Wirklichkeit herbei.
(LAG. Schöpferische Meditation, 225. Anm.63)

"Untitled (Dragon)," Rabindranath Tagore, 1st half of 20th century.
Born in Bengal, Tagore (1861-1941) was an impressive polymath. Mostly remembered today as a poet, he was also a composer, author, playwright, philosopher, social reformer, and a painter, and a major figure of the Bengal Renaissance. He is often credited with singlehandedly reshaping Bengali literature and music, and combining Modernism with traditional Indian painting.
He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize (for literature, in 1913), but didn't start painting until he was in his 60s. He drew in all sorts of influences from Western and Indian art. He is also now believed to have been red/green color blind, which explains the unusual color schemes and aesthetics of his works.
His was a remarkable life, crammed with incident and achievement; I suggest you look into it yourself!
From a private collection.

An excerpt from: The ‘#degrowth’ movement envisions global #ClimateJustice, but must adapt to #GlobalSouth realities
Published: February 6, 2025
by Claudius Gräbner-Radkowitsch and Birte StrunkWhat about the global south?
"Today, many degrowth advocates assert that the richer countries of the global north, being largely responsible for environmental degradation, should be the ones to scale back economic activity to avert ecological catastrophe. But what about the poorer countries of the global south? Should they adopt degrowth strategies? Some argue this would impose a #neocolonial agenda, with wealthier countries once again dictating the terms of global development. Others note that many poorer countries need economic growth to combat poverty. And even if degrowth were limited to the north, it could still have significant effects on the south – both positive and negative.
"A review of academic literature on degrowth and the global south reveals two main perspectives: those who see degrowth as incompatible with the south’s development needs, and those who believe it could offer synergies with sustainable development goals.
"Supporters of degrowth often point out that many of its core ideas originate in the global south. Anthropologist Jason Hickel cites figures such as Sri Lankan philosopher #AnandaCoomaraswamy, Indian economist #JCKumarappa and Bengali poet #RabindranathTagore as inspirations. While these thinkers may not use the term 'degrowth', they promote ideas aligned with it, such as the Latin American #SumakKawsay (or “#BuenVivir”) or the South African #Ubuntu. These non-Western perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the degrowth discourse in the global north.
Degrowth as decolonisation
"Degrowth advocates argue that scaling back economic activity in the north could help dismantle the unequal global division of labour, in which raw materials are extracted from the south and processed into consumer goods in the north. This system disproportionately benefits wealthier nations while leaving poorer countries with the social and #environmental costs.
"#FedericoDemaria, a researcher in political ecology, argues that northern countries must 'pay for past and present #colonial #exploitation in the south' – a central theme in contemporary degrowth discourse.
"Some researchers suggest that dependence on economic growth is problematic for both the north and south. They argue that growth alone does not guarantee poverty reduction – wealth distribution and institutional reforms are just as crucial. Degrowth could help both regions avoid #unsustainable development models by focusing more on social well-being than perpetual economic expansion."

For those who now need brightness
Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali, No.57
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.

Watched the #Bangla #film “Nauka Dubi” on #PrimeVideo after this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noukadubi_(2011_film)
since it shares the “bride switch” element of the plot (but nothing else).
Good story (by #RabindranathTagore), but terrible editing & pacing.
#LaapataLadies is a better #movie. 😒

A friend went to the library to get Rabindranath Tagore's "GItanjali". When she brought it home she discovered it was the original English-language first edition from 1912. Libraries are awesome. 📖 👍 😁 #Library #PublicLibrary #Literature #Bengali #BengaliLiterature #RabindranathTagore #Tagore https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/feb/09/reading-is-so-sexy-gen-z-turns-to-physical-books-and-libraries?utm_source=press.coop
