“Yoann Bourgeois Captivates Audience with Powerful Performance About Life”

Many people seem to have seen it. It first appeared on TikTok apparently.

In any case, it’s a beautiful metaphor for life. Of course, falling and bouncing back up. That’s the obvious.

But it’s not only that. It’s the grace. The grace with which he falls and bounces back. As if falling and bouncing back was just the natural flow of life. The NATURAL flow of life.

To say “fall and bounce back” is a way to arrange reality by emphasising specific points in the flow of life: the point when we fall and the point when we bounce back. It’s giving a shape to a reality that could take a completely different shape if the narrative was different.

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

Something to meditate upon.
