Rule Breaking



"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.


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 a 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.
