Bono’s “A Dog Called Hope” – Written in Israel

Bono's note after staying at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem

From Haaretz

U2′s front man Bono surprised Israeli passers-by earlier this month with his sudden visit to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

On Wednesday, BuzzFeed published the note Bono left behind at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel, which consists of a poem about how “hope is like a faithful dog,” and his sketch of “a dog called Hope.

In Jerusalem, hope springs eternal,” the poem read.

Hope is like a faithful dog, sometimes she runs ahead of me to check the future, to sniff it out and then I call to her: Hope, Hope, come here, and she comes to me.
I pet her, she eats out of my hand and sometimes she stays behind, near some other hope maybe to sniff out whatever was.
Then I call her my Despair. I call out to her. Here, my little Despair, come here and she comes and snuggles up, and again I call her Hope.

He signed, “With great thanks for great room in great hotel in great city, Bono.

Bono was believed to be in Israel for a private visit, and did not hold any performances.

LE PONT MIRABEAU-THE MIRABEAU BRIDGE

LE PONT MIRABEAU
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Et nos amours
Faut-il qu’il m’en souvienne
La joie venait toujours après la peine

Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure

Les mains dans les mains restons face à face
Tandis que sous
Le pont de nos bras passe
Des éternels regards l’onde si lasse

Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure

L’amour s’en va comme cette eau courante
L’amour s’en va
Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l’Espérance est violente

Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure

Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine

Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure
Apollinaire, Alcools (1912)

THE MIRABEAU BRIDGE
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine
Must I recall
Our loves recall how then
After each sorrow joy came back again

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

Hands joined and face to face let’s stay just so
While underneath
The bridge of our arms shall go
Weary of endless looks the river’s flow

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

All love goes by as water to the sea
All love goes by
How slow life seems to me
How violent the hope of love can be

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken
Neither time past
Nor love comes back again
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

First the short film (also) by Guy Nattiv and Erez Tadmor

which was developed later into an outstanding feature (describing among other a typical knee-jerk leftist position) – brilliantly improvised/acted by Lubna Azabal & Liron Levo.

My Reincarnation – The Film

 (was at)
Webster University Film Series

My review:
Neo-realism from Italy? No, but overflowing with what is “real” for Tibetan exiles – across time and space.
“I am not afraid of dying, I am afraid of living.” – Yeshi Silvano Namkhai

Everybody would like to be somewhat normal and function well within the society they are born into – even in Italy – BUT if you are the son of Rinpoche Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, a Tibetan tulku (high-ranking) lama, maybe things could be different.
Do you yearn for a good father or for a good teacher? Do your dreams surprise you and predict future events? The bonds of time may be quite different in Tibet than in Italy… so are you going to be able to get back to your knowledge? A rare window onto the flow of Tibetan generations and the passing of the baton, a legacy of wisdom and the responsibilities that come with that treasure. Smoothly digs into life as a teaching not to escape from.  –>A

Culture Unplugged

Watching certain films…

Culture Unplugged Philosophy: What we do matters, but why we do matters more. Individuality matters, but universality matters more. Idealism matters, but humanity matters more. Past & post matters, but present matters more. Product matters, but vision matters more. Process matters, but creativity matters more. Words & images matters, but the whole experience must matter most.
… At present, Culture Unplugged efforts are focused on enabling networks of socially & spiritually conscious content and its creators. With presence in India, USA, Indonesia and New Zealand, we are dedicated to bring authentic/independent voices of diverse cultures to global audiences. We are committed to contemplate and contribute to our personal as well as collective spiritual need of the time. Our focus is on the inner+inter cultural expression. Our aim is to work toward unity & harmony through all kinds of man-made divisions…
