Chaos and Me - update on Newsletter
I am no Buddha or especially Zen in my ways, when it comes down to it.
I get up in the morning and ask for Serendipity to show herself like she was some sort of Deity, and I her humble disciple. She is a flimsy and difficult goddess, since I cannot plot how to find her. Romancing Serendipity, her beauty and spirit, I light a candle and pray for her to come play.
Sometimes she is a trickster, an instigator of chaos, taking the control out of your hands, flipping it through the air and laughing at your attempts to predict the future. Unpredictability of events and the nonlinearity of life are her conditions, her laws for play. She is the unexpected, and her ways always uncertain and changing, spiraling, tracing a circle, a loop, taking you off your feet. If she wants. She is that child that grabs your hands and swings you around, eyes locked, until you both fall to the grown, any sense of orientation gone.
Dancing in her honor, exultation, trance-like, has me in a dizzy spin. It is her nature, turbulence coming from the deepest end of the universe, she gives flight to the flapping wings of butterflies alive for but a summer or two, a force then flinging us and the elements in opposing directions. As we swirl through space, this dance, order or disorder, how can you tell?
The universe can neither apologize for, nor rewind what has come to pass, and you and I will be wise to learn to live with the consequences of her unpredictability.
I’ve been posting my writing for almost three months now. It feels like I’ve been on the dance floor for 12 hours straight.
Update to Electric Notes.
On Tuesdays, I will keep posting a written piece. In the coming months I might begin sharing some drawings, artwork and more. I would also like to begin sharing with you things I found interesting on the internet, what I am reading and listening to.
Friday’s posting will move to Sunday starting the 1st. of November. I had planned to publish a book in sequences here. But to keep up some appearance of order, avoid total confusion, however much I love it, for now I will concentrate on my shorter pieces.
