March 8, 2017, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Chaotic Balance
By Darrell Gurney | Blog
“Madness is somewhere inbetween chaos and having a dream.” –R.M. Drake
The urge inside is to take on new things, play in bigger ways, and set free what’s destined for us to express.
It invites chaos.
The urge inside is also to find security and predictability and order. It invites balance.
It’s all about evening out the urges. The tendency is to mitigate the first, and feed the second. Yet, without an invitation to chaos, we stay where we are.
Every now and then, I simply compile too many quotes that demonstrate what I could only attempt to say. This is one of those days.
“Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong and stupid and foolish.” –Chuck Palahniuk

“Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or be depressed. Ace a test or flunk a class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and cheat. Dance on tables or sit in the corner. Life is Divine Chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breath. And enjoy the ride.” –Unknown
Got chaotic balance?
“Balance is the ability to be happy in the midst of the most chaotic… circumstance.” –Friederick Lenz
