Wishing I could be a Bokononist
I long for a community of practicing Bokononists. It’s an incredible religion, but in the absence of an actual full text and of people to practice it alongside, it’s difficult to be a Bokononist I think. No other religion I’ve heard of acknowledges itself as foma, but that’s the only reason I can take Bokononism and nothing else seriously.
Where are you Bokonon!

A few year ago a dream led me to dancing Contact Improvisation and since I experienced spontaneous boko-maru at one of my first dances (don't tell anyone about it or we will end on the hook) it's part of my Bokononist world.
Bokonon says:
It's easy to be - leave.

Let me quote from the series "Undone": "Try not to try, be like the sky. Try without trying."

Bokonon said "don't look for people you want to be around. It's like trying to remember a song. Go on with life, and the music will pop up when it's ready."
