“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best,” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.

“What I like doing best is Nothing.”

“How do you do Nothing,” asked Pooh after he had wondered for a long time.

“Well, it’s when people call out at you just as you’re going off to do it, ‘What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?’ and you say, ‘Oh, Nothing,’ and then you go and do it.

It means just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”

“Oh!” said Pooh.

I wrote mulligan, and I meant it, but, as Loki stated, the entire post might well as been a narrative device. Forty days is just a measure of time. Frame is not specific to a facet of life, but to life itself.

Flailing about as a dervish is pointless. Sitting quietly beneath a tree, poised and in anticipation of sweet, sweet honey, is purposeful. Hamlet’s existentialism can be overly interpreted. To be, there is value in simply being.
