Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.

TC's - INSENSITIVE commentary
Augustin, did you see the link that I posted on Facebook?
The lady who plays the how insensitive by Jobim on YouTube.
She is my friend. What do you of her compilation?
Sent from my iPhone chung.theresa@gmail.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theresa ... i tried to listen to it earlier but was unable to focus because of the environmental noise. I just re-listened to your link ..... her rendition was very good, neat & soft ... like she was weaving a fabric with deft touches. Not pretentious & not over-done.
It was important for me to put a face to that guitarist ... so i googled and hopefully i got the right person. I notice that she is Korean & her name is "chamosjk" & she has uploaded quite a few pieces. Her style is melancholy & depressed similar to Carole King ( Great composer/singer of the 80s ... You Got A Friend, Tapestry) and she looks soooooo serene & when she sings she whispers.
Just wondering whether she is the same person that you told me about way back in Aug/Sept. See the attachment & confirm whether the pics are of your friend playing the guitar .
Cheers

Yes this is her, she is not the same girl that I told you before, but this is a friend of her.
I met her once in Korea when I visited my friend in 2006, and she moved to Calgary Canada. I am not sure what exactly she is doing. But I heard she is learning arts - dancing, drawing etc.
I don't really know her well until we get back in touch on twitter. Sometime she complaints about money and age and social problems...
She looks serene but she is tougher than me, I think. She could go travel in south America by herself and she curses sometime.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok so it was spot-on. However, i sent you the attachment wondering whether you will notice that in one of her videos she is playing the guitar with her left hand ... this is very queer as very very few people in the world who could do this. Pics could be deceiving but the first impression i got was that she is a person who is very hard to please & would like to be left in her dreamy world .... but she is naturally beautiful ... not pretty.
Have a good sleepy weekend
Cheers
Have a good sleepy weekend

I passed your comment to her (except the hard to pleased and not pretty part, hahaa) and here is her appreciation to you:
"Wow I always welcome to receiving feedback and this is so grateful and decent one. I appreciate sharing his feeling and thot, especially who is real musician! Means alot to me!! I'll keep in mind forever! I am so happy. I wanna collaborate and integrate all my productive skills (like musical and visualizing talent) to represent my idea....! "
I guess those into arts are tend to be "hard to pleased"...she is beautiful but she doens't want to be conventionally beautiful...i think.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I may be insensitive, but i dare say that an artist's beauty is revealed through their works (for which they are admired) rather than through their physical attributes (which is often overlooked). It could be in the picture that they are framing, the story that they are narrating, the music that they are creating and ultimately the song that they are whispering. Their works are often not to inform, but to solicit a response. And we can only appreciate this innate beauty if we see their work through THEIR lens. And for this to happen we have to see beyond what our eyes can see, and hear beyond what our ears can hear, and not be prejudiced by seeing & hearing through the limitations of our education or up-bringing or our social standing.
Having said that i think the artist still has the moral obligation to connect their artistry to the realities of the world today and not withdraw into a world of their own .... Lest they become very knowledgeable about trees but become less equipped than ever to navigate through the forest. The moment the artistic aspect conditions the creator and the spectator in a profound way to express love, compassion, kindness & mercy than the artist has become an agent of holiness and has used the gift wisely.

On a side note:
When Jesus cured a man (born blind) on a sabbath, the Pharisees were angry because Jesus cured on a Sabbath. John 9:25 ...The blind man said "I was blind but now i can see." The pharisees had good eye-sight but could not see, and were applying the Law & precepts based on their narrow-mindedness & selfishness. Jesus cared more about human needs than about religious rituals.
