BE CRAZY

How the hell can you dance when you have an image of how dance is "supposed to be"?? How can you create something beautiful when beauty is a preconceived notion? Can you imagine an art gallery filled with copies of the same picture? How can you live spontaneously, flying on the wings of freedom if you limit yourself to your name and a few things you have done in the past?

You are alive!!

There is not a moment in life where you can stop and say "okay, now it is all figured out, I will go and lie in my coffin."
Life is a constant movement, a constant expression and learning, but how can you be moving, expressing, learning, when you constrict yourself to such a small portion of it? "I am Cindy Crawford, a democrat, and listen only to country music" "I will be polite, and never angry" "I will not smoke cigarettes." "I will go swimming three times a week from 10 to eleven a clock." You go on sticking labels to yourself, reinforcing them to make sure they do not peel off, saying they will make you smarter, prettier, better. Look you fool! your face is just full of stickers!

I WILL TELL YOU BE CRAZY! TAKE A RISK! Dont be afraid to look insane to others, and dont be afraid to look strange or stupid. Break from the all of those expectations that are crushing you! Dont hesitate to be total in your actions. Only when your actions are total will they reconnect you with life! Dont fight, but FIGHT. Dont scream, but SCREAM!! Let your dance be a frenzy, let your anger be a consuming flame!! Let your downtime be a deep meditation (haha) And last dont be afraid to completely disregard this article, hope I got to some of you!

  2. You know, that really spoke to me. Maybe I should break the ties and let loose once in a while. Hehe.

  3. Have you seen the movie Dead Poets Society? If not, you'd enjoy the teacher, played by Robin Williams.
