It’s probably just me but I’m walking along and I notice the contrast between these two patterns in this path, and I think “order and chaos”……
On the one dude are regular parallel lines. Highly ordered. On the other side, chaos.
The universe wouldn’t exist without the synthesis of this polarity.
Whether you think of it as order and chaos, or discipline and wildness, Cristal and Dragon (search for any of those pairs on this site), we have a brain which is perfectly evolved to appreciate both, and to integrate them.
Our left hemisphere organises what we see, analysing, categorising, labelling. It seeks and creates order, routine, habits. Our right hemisphere gathers what we see and focuses on patterns, seeks novelty and creates links, connections and relationships. Between them they enable us to make some sense of our existence.
Wow, well there’s the key! The secrets of the universe are right in front of us, right behind us, all around us. We discover them through the practice of everyday wonder.
L’émerveillement du quotidien.

Hi Bob, I enjoy your blog and photos. I write as editor of the Journal of the Laurence Society of Holistic Medicine and you may recall speaking at their conference in London a few years ago now. As a fellow Scot I did actually have a chat with you. What I would your permission for is to republish one of your thoughtful blogs in the Journal. There is but one Journal a year and I normally start pulling it together in January. Any possibility? Regards Allan Pollock
Yes Allan, I remember well. Absolutely you can publish anything from my site….writing and photos. I publish it all under an open licence simply asking that my work is attributed if published elsewhere. I’m glad you’re enjoying the posts and the photos.
Very kind. Thank you.
