Real Or Not Real
It Would Still Be Absurd
GO ABSURD!

Opening Absurdity

Get up to them hills
and shave the grass
‘till dawn, so you
can tell everyone
you shaved them
and if they don’t
believe you
take a selfie
and filter it for Instagram
with a hint of light
green grass in the background

Quote of the Day

“I am nothing
I’ll never be anything.
I couldn’t want to be something.
Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams of the world”
(Fernando Pessoa)

From The Great Man Bob Dylan

They’ll stone ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “good luck”
(From the song, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35)


“If you are passionate and work hard, you too could end up dead like me!”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

You will loudly exclaim as you enter a busy restaurant or cafe

Remember

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
