Ever wonder where wisdom resides? Some say that the Earth itself is merely a computer designed to calculate the key question that explains life, the universe, and everything! Let's test that theory ... no need to travel the galaxy at all. Although I can recommend a book if you'd like to try. Quick! Grab two circulars (any kind of advertising flyers that come in the mail) --- or "borrow" some from a neighbor, a friend, etc ... Cut out some words and phrases from each and play with them until you have two sayings that sound like they could contain ancient or modern cryptic wisdom. Paste each wise thought on its own piece of paper, cite the unlikely sources of wisdom on the same piece of paper (ie, describe the flyers), and mail each one to a swap partner. That's it! Any embellishment, illustrations, doodles, or written examples of possible application of your new-found wisdom appreciated but not necessary :) Then get back to your amazing and wonderful life. Asides: You may want to also make up a name to for the combined wisdom sources -- our examples from last round were DAHLEE LLAMA and something that combines the two names (for example Carpet Cleaning Service + Don's Rhododendrons = Don Carpet, Rhododendron Cleaner). Silliness completely endorsed by Don Carpet and the swap organizer; it is quite possible that mine might be attributed to Chicken Delousers Anonymous. Any language you want to play with is fine, just make sure to translate your wisdom into one your partner is able to read! Hmm ... bilingual wisdom ... I angel all my swaps and I am happy to host a 1:1 swap. |
