Ensō

In Zen Buddhism, an ensō ( , "circle") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.

The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void). It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics.

Drawing ensō is a disciplined-creative practice of Japanese ink painting—sumi-e (墨絵 "ink painting"). The tools and mechanics of drawing the ensō are the same as those used in traditional Japanese calligraphy: One uses a brush ( fudé) to apply ink to washi (a thin Japanese paper).

The circle may be open or closed. In the former case the circle is incomplete, allowing for movement and development as well as the perfection of all things. Zen practitioners relate the idea to (wabi sabi), the beauty of imperfection. When the circle is closed, it represents perfection, akin to Plato's perfect form (Plato), the reason why the circle was used for centuries in the construction of cosmological models, see Ptolemy.

Svetogorsk

Svetogorsk (Russian: Светого́рск; Finnish: Enso) is an industrial town in Vyborgsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Karelian Isthmus, on the Vuoksa River. It is located 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from the Finnish–Russian border, 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) from the Finnish town of Imatra, and 207 kilometers (129 mi) from St. Petersburg. Population: 15,981(2010 Census); 15,698(2002 Census); 15,594(1989 Census).

History

Originally called Enso, it was founded in 1887 to serve a paper mill. At the time, it was a part of Vyborg Governorate in the Grand Duchy of Finland. In 1919, Finland became independent and the governorate was transformed into Viipuri Province. Enso became a part of the Jääski Municipality, with the seat in Jääski.

The territory was ceded by Finland to the Soviet Union by the Moscow Peace Treaty as a result of the Winter War. After the Winter War, the Finns and the Soviets disagreed on the interpretation of the peace treaty regarding Enso. The former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland Väinö Tanner wrote in his memoirs: "Already now a dispute about the district of Enso developed. According to the map attached to the peace treaty Enso was clearly intended to belong to Finland but the Russians claimed that it should belong to them. Later the map was redrawn according to the interests of the Russians so that the border bends at Enso."

    Hoy Me Voy

    by: Juanes

    Llorarás, llorarás cuando se valla el sol
    Y yo con él, dejando tu vida sola
    Te dirán, te dirán las flores del jardín
    Cuánto te amé y cuánto soñé tu luz
    Devuélveme ese corazón
    Que tú no supiste valorar lo que te daba yo, de verdad
    Devuélvelo, devuélvelo, no es tuyo, no
    Ya se acabó el tiempo en que tú brillabas
    Devuélveme ese corazón
    Que tú no supiste valorar lo que en verdad te daba yo
    Oh oh oh… oh oh…
    Hoy me voy, pero no
    No se va la herida grande que me queda
    Por amarte, por mi culpa
    Por los besos que en el mar te di
    Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
    Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
    Y por eso de ti me despido
    Hoy me voy, hoy me voy…
    Devuélveme ese corazón
    Que tú no supiste valorar lo que en verdad te daba yo
    Oh oh oh… oh oh…
    Hoy me voy, pero no
    No se va la herida grande que me queda
    Por amarte, por mi culpa
    Por los besos que en el mar te di
    Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
    Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
    Y por eso de ti me despido
    Hoy me voy, pero no
    No se va la herida grande que me queda
    Por amarte, por mi culpa
    Por los besos que en el mar te di
    Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
    Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
    Y por eso de ti me despido
    Hoy me voy, hoy me voy…
    Hoy me voy
    De ti me despido
