Are you angry? Punch a pillow. Was it satisfying? Not hardly. These days people are too angry for punching. What you might try is stabbing. Take an old pillow and lay it on the front lawn. Stab it with a big pointy knife. Again and again and again. Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into the ground. Stab until the pillow is gone and you are just stabbing the earth again and again, as if you want to kill it for continuing to spin, as if you are getting revenge for having to live on this planet day after day, alone.

Maybe the back lawn would be better than the front lawn? :P
i bought that book on a whim last week. haven't managed to read it but did flick through those first few pages.
remember that book sunbathing in the rain that you sent me? i never managed to read it either yet, but my mother saw it and asked to read it. i think it helped her to understand things a lot more and was a comfort to her, so thank you again for that. xo
Great quote.
Personally, in the absence of a lawn and any plot of land I could use, I'll just punch the pillow.
Or play Pepsi squash :)
