Ask Alice

don’t be afraid
to take a weird idea
down the rabbit hole.

let it play
in the mud
for a while.

give it permission
to indulge,
to spin a cocoon.

explore what happens
when it goes off in some
bizarre direction,

or crosses over
into the realm of
the improbable.

don’t be afraid
to ask, what if?,
to let it get silly and childish.

this is the land of oz,
colorful as the rainbow.
the land of bonsai.

the land of the surreal.
the land of fantasy.
the land of dreams.

no goals,
quotas
or objectives.

don’t be afraid
to take a weird idea
down the rabbit hole.

give it freedom
to explore,
to experiment,

to test boundaries
and create
new ones.

don’t be afraid
to take a weird idea
down the rabbit hole,

you’ll see that
eventually, it emerges
transformed.
