CHAOS: Creative Principle

CHAOS:

Creative Principle

Although we try to keep our lives in order,

we occasionally encounter moments where we feel stuck and thrown into chaos.

In Greek mythology, Chaos was the first divine principle from which all things originated.

We sometimes get stuck or end up in a crisis. These are moments when fixed structures collapse: loss of work, friendships, purpose, serious illnesses, and war.

Inner chaos can be the result.

From chaos, new structures flourish. For change, we sometimes need chaos.

Chaos is fertile ground for the new.
