On Rules Being Rules


Follow(ing) the Yellow Brick Road, or the Balloon.

Life's larger, unanswerable questions aside, it's a rare moment to find ourselves without direction or purpose, as we (so often) fill our hours and days with to-do lists, calendars, meetings, plans, rules, assignments, and so forth. To aimlessly exist is to add an unsettling sense of peace to a typically ordered existence, where we look for signs to prescribe meaning that we can't (comfortably) exist without. To break this mold - to throw out the post-its, to break the dates, to ignore the rules (with a rule to ignore the rules, no doubt) - is to seize the fleeting moment of freedom from ourselves and because of ourselves. Enjoy!
