Yeah, I think so too Stoat. I've done the head shaving thing, amongst other things, to mark transitions and new phases. It's like a dedication and touchstone--something to remind and inspire.
One time a friend and I drank water from an ashtray as a part of a small event to remind us to quit smoking. It worked great too, I quit cold turkey with little or no cravings. Yep, it worked great until my friend (who was my room mate at the time) caved about two weeks later, and I woke up one morning to find him sitiing at the kitchen table smoking. Needless to say, I said to him, "You bastard!" and then lit up a smoke too.
Czern, I think your thing sounds neat, but remember there is nothing completely original, and while I too share your feelings about uniqueness and individuality, I also think there is a balancing harmony and tradition(s), which also need to be taken into account. I guess I mean don't get too hung up on placing emphasis on what is "yours"...it seems to me that The Great Work (so-called) is something undertaken for everyone. |
