Round 2 for Indeterminacy (Chance) Project...

My Partner's (Bobby's) Recipe:

1. Write numbers 3-11 on a piece of paper. Tear up paper so each number is on its own paper. Do step 12 last.
2. Put papers in a container, shuffle papers. Don't Look. Choose one. Write first word that comes into your head from that number or take a picture of the first thing you think of when you see that number, it might be the piece of paper. Then abandon those pieces of paper with numbers because you are not Using Them.
3. Pick up the first book you see. close your eyes and shuffle the pages, stop on a random page. Find the last word on the page. Write it down and write the first word that comes to your mind or take a picture of how you feel after reading that word or representation of it.
4. Count how many letters that word has in it.
5. Hug yourself for that many seconds. Take a picture of you hugging yourself or of what you see or feel after, the first thing you see or feel. Or write the first word that comes into your head.
6. Find the number one less than the number in step 4 (one less than the number of letters in the word).
7. Travel that number of steps, feet, meters, blocks, until you come to a place you feel right. Take a random picture of it, or write down the first word that you think of.
8. At that spot do something good for someone else or the Earth, pick up litter, open a door for someone, let some one get on the bus first. You will know what to do when you get there. Take a random picture of the scene or moment after, or write the first word that comes in your head.
9. Turn on your mp3 player or musical device at home, listen to your favorite song or choose a song at random.
10. Spin around a number of times equal to the number of minutes the song's length is while the song is playing, example 2 minute song spin twice. Take a picture of how you feel from the song, a representation, or take a picture of the first thing you see after spinning. Or write the first word that comes in your head.
11. get in a lotus position or sit down in a comfortable meditative pose. Breathe in a number of times one more than the word in step 4, and exhale Om. Do this at home or a comfortable place where you can really breathe deeply and exhale with a good amount of sound "Ohhmmm". After write the first word that comes in your head or take a picture of the first thing you see.
12. Assemble all these words or some of them if you do not thing they fit, or pictures, or pictures and words, create a work of art or album or some representation or not with all the different parts (words, pictures, or both). Can be simple or complex. You choose. May you continue to help yourself and help others. May good karma flow your way. You just made a brighter day. Hey, hey, hey , hey. OK.

My end result...
