The Best Advice

“He was beginning to feel that it was not truth that men live for -- the creative men -- but for falsehood. - from Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe.

Your imagination will never let you down
Give it room to breath
Let it play
It will be your guide to amazing people and places
The best times of your life
Don’t get bogged down in reality
Don’t get bogged down by your supposed sanity
You can fly
You can swim the oceans
You can explore the solar system
But you must remember the rules: there are no rules
No restrictions apply
No laws govern your actions
No precedents have been set
You are ungoverned by dictates or councils of elders
You are unencumbered
And nothing is numbered (unless you want it to be)
Have faith in yourself
Trust that part of your mind that is wild and free
Your feral self
Mentally you must:
Can can
Boogie
Watusi
Calypso
Twist
Lindy Hop
Samba
Flamenco
Rumba
Tango
Jitterbug
Merengue
Shimmy
Hell, you can even waltz if you want to
Just tell yourself what to do
And do it!
