THEME: order vs. chaos, part two

It just occurred to me that the purposeful use of random events is a very deliberate way of injecting spontaneity into an artwork.

And then I was reading Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching:

"If you want to become whole,

let yourself be partial.

If you want to be straight,

let yourself be crooked.

If you want to become full,

let yourself be empty.

If you want to be reborn.

let yourself die.

If you want to be given everything,

give everything up."

...and it made me think that this week's theme could inspire similar lines:

If you want to be orderly,

let yourself be chaotic.

If you want to plan,

let yourself be spontaneous.

If you want to be neat,

let yourself be messy.

If you want to be predictable,

let yourself be random.

If you want to control things,

open yourself to chance.
