Purpose. I'm Trying To Not Over Think It
The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature in her manner of operation.
- John Cage. From “Silence: Lectures and Writings by John Cage”
So then as for me I love riding a bicycle so I try and get on a bicycle every day and sometimes twice a day because the bicycle I ride and the reason I ride should correspond. For example, when I ride the Hoo Koo E Koomuter not pictured in this article it is often to get me from one specific place to another and back again for groceries for example though I don’t do this often enough but this is purpose and so not the highest purpose which is more like getting on the All-City Big Block which is pictured in this article not knowing which way I will turn out of the driveway or how long I may be gone but simply to ride and this has a higher purpose in having no purpose. Whatever your ride, I hope you have a moment to enjoy it today.
These things inspired me recently:
Artists on Artists to Watch. When those who have been there a while introduce us to the new folks in the room.
Despise Not the Thing That Would Save You. Big racks and skinny legs.
A list of 32 films to watch this spring/summer. Black Widow July 9!
Transformation of a Japanese Larch Bonsai. This is beauty.
They are not inside you, unable to get out; rather, they are outside of you, unable to get in. Nick Cave, Michael Jackson, and Elizabeth Gilbert on where art exists.
