Beautiful Absurd

Sometimes bucking good old common sense and going against the grain can be a bad thing – think wild conspiracy theories that undermine evidence-based science or America’s love affair with guns (why?). But sometimes embracing the absurd, or antithesis of common sense, can be a path to freedom. Life itself is pure absurdity on parade. Planet earth too. How else to consider the Weedy Sea Dragon of the Australian coral reefs – have you ever seen them? Simply absurd! The unbelievable is all around us, as we look up into the night sky and even when two colors sit beside each other in smaller applications and bring each other to life. Veering completely off the expected course lends food for thought, fun, and allows us to think differently. Without the absurd we can’t imagine, and we can’t dream.
