Silly Silly Silly Things

There was a young lady in blue
Who asked, "Is it you? Is it you?"
When I said, "Yes it is!" -
She replied only, "Whiz!"
That batty young lady in blue.

Does any else ever just get tired of the same old words every day? Go to work and gossip. Go home and complain why the dishes aren't done. Go out with friends and argue about some sports team. I have a proposition! Let's you and I forget the language of meaning(less) more often and transcend to a new realm of mental awareness. It's a world as broad and fresh as we want it to be. I'm not talking about telepathy, meditation, or drugs. I'm talking about letting our guard down to the kingdom of nonsense. It will take some practice, but lets banish thoughts like "ridiculous," and "stupid," and begin to consider the astonishingly open possibilities of the absurd. Then our eyes will learn to see the nonsense beings that live blissfully and invisibly beside us every day.

Anyone still with me? Here's how we'll do it: in my own quest to discover the way into this kingdom, I have found guides in a few young children. These brilliant, non-grownups are the closest to understanding this other place. I myself was only four when bright and smiling mysteries were whispered to me by an oversized bunny rabbit only I could see! If we invest time with some of these beautiful humans (maybe you have some of your own), we'll be led into their imaginations where dwell creatures bizarre and wonders delightful. I'll be writing all the silly things here that I think of from spending time with them, and publishing more that I discover. I'll keep you posted, let me know how it goes for you!

Was it more like Harvey or Frank?

It seems like simply don't think about using other forms of communication. Words are a crutch. People naturally use body language and facial expressions, but there's so much more to be learned and practiced!

Do you remember Bunny's arch enemy "clown?" He was the "dark side" of imaginary friends. I think Bunny did him in with a stake in his heart.
