I used to write koans when I was in graduate school. Dealing with really brainy, weighty ideas and analytical thinking all day makes you want to play with abstractions and absurdities. Here are a few.
(A koan is a brief saying or teaching. The more you think on it, the more the ideas bloom in your mind. Mine may or may not fill the bill.)
Wear red when cooking beets.
Tiger balm is kitty bane.
Practice breathing.
(this from my father) Don’t worry about what people think because they so seldom do.
(this from my astronomy prof) Put your money on gravity.
Cooperate with reality.
