Nasty Neighbors and the sound of wolves
Symptom: animal behaviour in human beings; holes in fences.
Cure: dogs and cats like to play long into the evening when it is summer. When in contact with those who have seemingly forgotten the ritual of play and its therapeutic benefits, use it as a weapon. Exhibit joy and freedom in the sun, right in your own back yard. The sound of wolves will begin to echo like your enemy's own conscience, and she will begin to question who is truly winning and if she is even playing a fair game in the first place. Finally, bake, make or burn things that smell like fairness.

when words stick to your mouth
Symptom: not meaning to say what you mean, but doing so anyway.
Cure: subtlety is a virture we all strive for, but not always achieve. Begin to notice the mouths around you, how they are constructed and how they construct what they mean. Imagine each mouth pronouncing the following tounge-twister:
"Un chasseur sachant chasser sait chasser sans son chien de chasse." Now imagine hunting for what you truly desire.

On the assignation of comfort.
Symptom: the belief that pillows insure or dis-insure comfort.
Cure: Place a blue ball in the center of your bed. Does is roll? Is it still? Assume your most challenging yoga position (or simply sit still with legs crossed) and concentrate of your past beds. Have they been satisfying? Have they supplied rest and warmth? How would you describe the bed belonging to your most anguished love affair? Your most dignified? This series of thoughts may be used imaginatively at work or at rest as well as in the comfort of your own home whenever discomfort strikes.
What's in a name?
Symptom: Dense rumination on past signs and significaiton; inability to name daily objects, figures, people.
Cure: All things have a name as well as a hidden nick-name. Open dictionary randomly and chose the first word seen. Use this word to name all your immediate surroundings (things, people, circumstances), noting the fabric of opposition that may occur. Use this exercise frequently (suggested: once per day for as long as symptoms persist) in order to find the order of things and your order among them.
