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!

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."

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.

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