I sent this to the Invisible College Whatsapp 2 days ago & they liked it, so I’m seeing how it feels to share it here. Its real title was (and should be) CABIN FEVER. Discussed in this transmission: not being driven crazy by what is actually in fact crazy. Among other things.

Rhyming Dictionary is currently an experiment. Just finding out what it feels like.
Thank you so much Ariana. I have felt so completely frozen since the new year - your words here have really been for me the axe for the frozen sea that Kafka talks about. Thank you so much for sharing.
Re: Memory. This past Sunday I was introduced to the playwright Sarah Kane, I came across a quote of her saying “theater has no memory.” Immediately following that, I read the intro to The Glass Menagerie where Williams describes it as a memory play. In my 20s reading Gurdjieff’s lesson about remembering who you are. When I was going through severe panic attacks I would recite my childhood home address and phone number to assure myself I had not lost my mind. I picked up your book Telephone last night as I am trying to figure out how to write a play, and this transmission was found at just the right time. Thank you.
