Logic and chaos are a matter of opinion
Plannable, comprehensible, „logical“ ….It depends exclusively on our mental abilities as humans, which part of the world we feel as „plannable, comprehensible, ‚logical’“. And which remaining part we assign to chance and chaos. I believe that the size ratio of these two parts to each other is freely changeable. Up to a point, at which…

Wing borne
My wife and I occasionally drop off things we no longer need – or perhaps never really needed – at a social department store in the nearest big city. On this occasion, of course, we browse through the store and see if we can’t find something there in return to fill the space we’ve created…
