Write with water and see your words disappear
Ok, this is a bit weird. But you might find it interesting.
Some days ago, I visited an art exhibition. In it, I found some pictures about this Chinese guy who was writing with water over a stone.
Well, I was not even impressed, this was a contemporary art exhibition after all. On a side note, however, the artist explained that when he was a kid, his family was so poor his father taught him to practice his calligraphy with a brush soaked in water. I guess in the West he might as well have used chalk and a blackboard. As an a adult, he recovered this habit to write his diary. The way I see it, this is some kind of meditation.
Anyway, I thought it would be cool to try it, but this water/brush/stone seemed too cumbersome for me and I forgot about it. Until last night, when this idea came to me: I could use my wireless keyboard. Connected to nothing, of course.
I tried it and I liked it. From my point of view, it works better (no, just differently) form a regular journal because in this way you just let it all go.
I thought maybe someone would find this interesting. Give it a try. Just make sure nobody is watching, we don't want anyone ending up in an institution.
