A teď, když vstupoval do závěrečných fází svého aktivního života, začínal chápat, že pokud nedojde k nějaké nepředvídané souhře okolností, jeho život se nezmění. Byl oklamán. Odjakživa se domníval, že v jeho dospělosti jednou nastane čas jakéhosi stabilizovaného stavu, kdy se naučí využívat veškeré triky, jak řídit svůj život nebo jen jednoduše žít. Kdy vyřídí veškerou poštu a e-maily, všechny papíry bude mít v pořádku, knihy vyrovnané na policích podle abecedy, oblečení a boty v dobrém stavu v šatnících a v botníku, všechny věci na svých místech, kde je bude umět najít, Svou minulost včetně dopisů a fotografií roztříděnou v krabicích a šanonech, soukromý život usazený a poklidný, stejně jako bydlení a peníze. Za celé ty roky nikdy k žádnému podobnému urovnání nedošlo, stabilizovaného stavu nikdy nedosáhl, ale přesto nadále předpokládal, aniž by nad stavem věcí uvažoval, že je už na dosah chvíle, kdy po vynaloženém úsilí kýženého stavu dosáhne, že nastane okamžik, kdy jeho život bude přehledný a duše svobodná, a jeho dospělá existence bude moct náležitě začít. Ale nedlouho po narození Catriony, přibližně v době, kdy se seznámil s Darlene, se domníval, že situaci poprvé vidí v celé její nahotě: v den, kdy umře, bude mít na sobě ponožky, které nepůjdou do páru, v počítači bude mít hromadu nezodpovězených e-mailů a v brlohu, kterému říká domov, budou nadále košile s chybějícími manžetovými knoflíčky, selhávající světlo na chodbě, nezaplacené složenky, neuklizená půda, mrtvé mouchy, a kolem něho budou kamarádi čekající na odpověď a milenky, k nimž se nebude hlásit. Zapomnění, poslední slovo v uspořádání všech věcí, mu bude jedinou útěchou.

Brooding is more something I do when I'm working. I know so much more about sitting around worrying about a work project than I do about worrying about kids. This could just be a fact of life for older moms. We've worked and worked and worked and if we are lucky enough to finally have a child or two, we find ourselves suddenly catapulted into a most alien kind of chaos. Work is so much easier. Anyone will tell you that. To have a desk, where you have everything all lined up, and a schedule you more or less get to agree to. Work. I am a worker. This is so funny because I never really think of my work as work. I certainly never though of myself as having a career. Writing, work, this is just who I am. I am a person who sits at a desk and makes phone calls and taps at a computer keyboard and sips coffee and calls her mom at five. That I am anything better or smaller than that has come as sudden news to me. Brand new. News.

But when you’re a kid, it isn’t chaos. It’s just a heartbeat. Your house isn’t floating through space, it sits on the ground. Once you get old enough you start to see that color is just paint and doors are just wood. Then, at some point, that feeling of home vanishes entirely. And… that’s what I fear. That nothing will ever make me feel like I’m safe again. That once you leave home, you never get it back.

But some of us get so much used to it that we start feeling peaceful in there and we start spending more time in it. One weird thing about darkness is, we meet ourselves there.

We fall in love with the same thing that we tried to run away from out whole life.

democracy is a see-saw between complete chaos and tolerable confusion

Control seems preferable to what we typically think of as its opposite--chaos. But I want to suggest that the opposite of control is not chaos. It is trust, and trust is far preferable to control. We want to control because we fear the outcome of letting God be in control. We fear we won't be taken care of, won't have what we need, or will be taken advantage of. But trying to be in control is futile, because in reality there is very little that we can control.

Creating chaos provides excitement for some people, especially those who are uneasy with silence, those who distract themselves from their own problems by focusing outward, those who feel empty inside and need to fill themselves up with activity, and those who were raised in an environment in which harmony and peace were unknown.

Disorder is inherent in stability. Civilized man doesn't understand stability. He's confused it with rigidity. Our political and economic and social leaders drool about stability constantly. It's their favorite word, next to 'power.' 'Gotta stabilize the political situation in Southeast Asia, gotta stabilize oil production and consumption, gotta stabilize student opposition to the government' and so forth. Stabilization to them means order, uniformity, control. And that's a half-witted and potentially genocidal misconception. No matter how thoroughly they control a system, disorder invariably leaks into it. Then the managers panic, rush to plug the leak and endeavor to tighten the controls. Therefore, totalitarianism grows in viciousness and scope. And the blind pity is, rigidity isn't the same as stability at all. True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.

Don't let their chaos distract you from your goals.
