My friend Lydia asked me a bunch of questions on Facebook, here’s what she said:
One thing, real quick, is I miss the holidays like- “Rubberband Day”- you could take off on this- like a “Hand Day”- everyone holds hands or observes people’s hands. Say if you are stuck in traffic, look through the car window to the neighboring cars and observe the drivers’ hands on the steering wheels. What are they wearing? What do they look like? If you ride the subway or commuter rail to town, observe passengers’ hands and then try to imagine what all these folks do for a living or how old they are. “Drum Day”- create a drum out of one of those oatmeal cardboard cylinder containers and bang away on it this day. Drum on buckets, cans, jars, books, boxes, car hoods, your friends’ head- rat a tat tat. Research drum of the world- China, Africa, Tibet, America, Ireland. Visit town and watch the street musicians bang on their home made drum set of buckets and cans. Love.
