Insanity

I encourage you to cultivate your insanity, Paul!! Did you know that Salvador Dali used to on occasion fall asleep with an egg in his hand so that he would remain on the verge of sleep for as long as possible, where the imagination is most lucid and ripe with creativity or insanity or both -- he would start to doze off and, then, just as the egg would start to roll from his hand he would jerk awake ... he continued to do this apparently over the course of an evening until he had gathered together some pretty far out material to inspire his art. I, for one, would applaud a painting that depicted the love affair between a lettuce and a mer-lettuce ....
