"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries."
- A.A. Milne
"Sometimes breaking the rules is just extending the rules. Sometimes there are no rules."
~ Mary Oliver
"There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method." - Ishmael from Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
The word, oxymoron (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") means a contradiction of terms.
Ishmael refers to whale hunting but he also means the art of storytelling.
Develop ideas about "careful disorderliness." Let opposites collide. Go jaunty. Get untamed.
Play by creating a meaningful chaos, planned messiness, directed improvisation. Challenge your fun with playful experiments.
Consider the joy and power of rebellion and creativity. A determination to revolt against the usual may stimulate discoveries in living an imaginative life.
Find a personal call of non-violent disobedience.
Rise and overthrow a stale notion, overworked idea, or any status quo you've experienced. Your vitality will soar as you shed numbing habits and traditions.
Extend the rules. Pursue a rebel's jubilee.
