continuity and change

[Richard Charles Holloway]

thanks, Larry--

I agree with your perception of chaos/order (indeed, it seems that we occupy
that narrow band of experience that exists between order and chaos.  The closer
we move to order, the more stale and stable we become and the closer to death
we move.  The closer to the edge of chaos that we approach, the more surprising
and creative our experience becomes and the more alive we feel.

The sense of becoming-being is a profound one--perhaps you've heard At de Lange
expound on his 7 essentialities? You struck home when you mentioned the
emergence that creative life generates...but the patterns of emergence are
influenced by and related to the intent and purpose that generated them, much
as fractals reflect chaotic patterns influenced by the loop of the equation by
which they are generated.

Thanks for clarifying some of the conversation that was going on!  I enjoy your
many contributions.

regards,

Doc
