Joseph Bueys
{Translated from German}
Do not let yourself fall.
Learn to observe snakes.
Plant impossible gardens.
Invite someone dangerous to tea.
Make little signs that say “yes” and
Distribute them throughout your house.
Become a friend of freedom and uncertainty.
Look forward to dreams. Wine with movies.
Swing as high as you can
with a swing under the moonlight.
Cultivate many different moods.
Refuse to be responsible.
Do it out of love.
Take a lot of naps.
Keep spending money. Do it now. The money will follow.
Belief in witchcraft. Laugh a lot.
Bathe in the moonlight.
Dream wild dreams, fantastic dreams.
Draw on the walls. Read every day.
Imagine you're enchanted. Giggle with children.
Listen to old people. Open yourself. Dive.
Be free. Prize yourself.
Drop the fear.
Play with everything.
Entertain the child in you.
You are innocent.
Build a fort of blankets.
Get wet.
Hug Trees.
Write love letters.
...And I say: dance as much as possible.
