The question haunted me like a ghost that pops nails out of the frames of houses. Eventually the house collapses. But in the meantime it’s kind of fun to think about ghosts in your house. They lend an air of exotic appeal to your life. If I really thought about it, I would have to admit that nothing I did at the institute really changed anyone’s life for the better. Once you get onto that track, there’s nothing for you but a slow spiral into depression, and who wanted that?
So I avoided it by coming up with these ridiculous exercises, which, in a strange way, was welcomed by the others. Did they all feel the same way as me? Were they all here so they could avoid facing the hard decision to leave or stay? Were they trying to cleanse themselves with some physical activity? All good question
