Shodo
for solo cello
______________
Shodo is the Japanese art of calligraphy. In the Zen
tradition, Shodo is known as Hitsuzendo, and is meditation in action. Each
gesture behind each brushstroke is made with conviction and wholeness of being,
in a state of 'no-mind.' Here, one may think of the bow as the instrument, and
the sound of the cello as the trace, or memory of the brushstroke, the only
remaining evidence, of a state of 'no-mind.'
