Forests and stones
change positions in a regal
geologic minuet.
“Cultivate in yourself a grand similarity with the chaos of the surrounding ether; unloose your mind, set your spirit free.”
Chance, randomness, the moment to moment expression of life, is a leap. A leap into unknown and unpredictable moments of expression. First we consider moments to be known and predictable, then we discover, especially if we look closely, that we aren't in control and stuff just happens. Relinquish control and any sense of predictability. Be like 'stone and wood'.
