Order and Chaos 2020
remember
life whispers in my heart
i exist on the delicate edge
of chaos and order
this word
chaos
from the ancient greek
khaos
the abyss
the vast emptiness that precedes creation
order
from the latin ordinem
arrangement
pattern
routine
(originally
simply
a row of threads on a loom)
ah
from the abyss
a pattern is woven
we call it life
too much order
we become rigid and dense
too much chaos
we dissolve
in the existential void
for a brief moment
in time
we breathe
we dance
we laugh and cry
we love
on that shifting boundary
the ever receding horizon
the subliminal edge
we call life
(from my book “not poems: moments of Awareness, ©2018)
With all the chaos out there, take time to go inward and connect with the cosmic order. There is an order, a sacred geometry, that brings us balance and underlies everything. Ancient cultures, healers, philosophers, and mathematicians knew this. Modern science is rediscovering it. Here is today’s meditation to guide you into the experience of that resource that is there waiting for us. Chapter 3: Sacred Geometry Meditation. 10 minutes.
