The irrationality of a thing

"The irrationality of a thing is not an argument against its existence, rather, a condition of it."

~Friedrich Nietzsche

In all chaos

In all chaos there is a cosmos,
in all disorder a secret order.

~Carl Jung

The only way

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

~Alan Watts

Chaos

“Chaos in a work of art should shimmer through the veil of order.”

~Novalis

Contain your experience

"Contain your experience with the divine
so that it does not escape you but rather shapes you.
Be silent.
Silence will help you avoid engaging in the games of competition and illusion
that regularly seduce us in the outside world.
Silence also helps you avoid distraction.
It helps focus the busy mind -
the mind that always has to be doing something, thinking something,
the mind that always has to be otherwise engaged
lest it become introspective and allow the soul's voice to override its own.
The silence I am describing is a silence that you use
to contain the grace you receive when you enter the Castle of your soul.
This quality of silence allows you to engage in discernment.
You carry this silence within you, even when you are with others.
It allows you to hold your center amid the chaos of your life;
it keeps you clear so that you do not do or say things you will regret
or make decisions out of fear. "

~ Caroline Myss

If anyone

"If anyone tries to complicate your life, turn and walk away from them."

~ Caroline Myss

We always have

We always have a choice. We can let the garden of our life grow wild and unattended until it fills with weeds, or we can take up the proper tools and tend to our garden until we create a place of unimaginable loveliness.

~John Marks Templeton

One must still

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

~Friedrich Nietzsche

Life

Life seeks order but it uses messes to get there.

~Margaret Wheatley

Peace

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.

When life seems chaotic

When life seems chaotic, you don't need people giving you easy answers or cheap promises. There might not be any answers to your problems. What you need is a safe place where you can bounce with people who have taken some bad hops of their own.

~Real Live Preacher, August 12, 2003

Without order

Without order nothing can exist
Without chaos nothing can evolve.
