Go Absurd 96 – Where Doing and Don’ting Don’t Matter

 

“…because this blog* is absurd, I love it; because it is useless, I want to give it away; and because wanting to give it to you serves no purpose, I give it to you…”

(Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet)

*book (in the original quote from Pessoa)


Quote of the Day


“But at root…it is nothing more than the mysterious utterance of the old man of Spithead, who opened the window and said:

Fill jumble, fill jumble,

Fill rumble-come-tumble

(Alan Watts, The Book)

From The Great Man Danil Kharms


20.


I choked on a lamb bone.

I was taken by the arms and brought away from the table.

I lost myself in thought.

A mouse ran by.

Ivan ran after the mouse with a long stick.

A strange old woman watched from a window.

Running by the old woman, Ivan hit her in the face with a stick.

Go Absurd! Exercise:


When someone next asks your age tell them an age which is either 20 years younger or older than you currently are. So, if you are currently 18 years old you can respond with, “minus twoh is my age; I haven’t yet been conceived…”

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?)
