One Apple A Day #772 - on the edge of chaos
Staying on the edge of chaos.
I read these words in a book titled "Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World", and they've been in my head since then.
To me, it is something similar to standing on the edge of a cliff; a blend of fear and excitement, dread and awe.
Too far from the cliff and the fear is gone. But with it also goes the awe that comes from seeing beyond.
Too close to the cliff and you may fall.
I've always been drawn towards the edge of chaos.
A part of me screaming in fear, asking to go back to safety. The other one pushing me a little closer.
On one side, the comforting safety of what I know. Beyond the edge, the unknown.
It is an incredibly creative spot to be, albeit an energy-draining one.
So, sometimes I need to step back and rest.
