Welcome to our podcast ” Wait a minute ! “, With our Thursday meeting” La Bulle “, which talks about us, about oneself, about what is going well, and sometimes not so well.
In this new episode, we discuss the notion of time with Kankyo Tannier, Buddhist nun of the Zen tradition, who has just published Dancing in the midst of chaos (Flammarion, 18 euros). In this book, she evokes in particular “the art of taming Chronos”, while the shared feeling is “of not having time”.
“Take the time” to “waste time”?
A malicious time since the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis and the successive confinements. The days seem stretched to infinity, equal to each other. From another point of view, 24 hours does not seem sufficient to “do everything”, and especially to take “time for oneself”. How to “take your time”? Is it to “waste this time” gained?
Kankyo Tannier evokes in this episode the time, the choices and the renouncements to “take this time for oneself”. When we manage to overcome the permanent stresses, what to do with this time? Is it to contemplate “the splendor of uselessness”, the translation of the Japanese concept “Mu”? Is succeeding in taking time reserved for the privileged, those who can “free themselves from time”?
To listen to Kankyo Tannier, who also runs the blog dailyzen.fr, it’s as easy as clicking in the player above. All episodes from the original “Minute Papillon!” Podcast can be found free of charge on all online listening platforms and on our
