Great quotes.
I especially like the Nietsche one. I interpret it as Chaos being the fuel. What wonders come from it. How? we don't know.
Chaos is an infinity concept so little understood, as is the underlying beauty of the thread of order that runs through it. It is part of evolution.
I've long begun to say that order is over-valued. Order is about cause and effect. Do this, that happens. It's the world of science or (as Merton said) of magic, the sister of science.
What is chaotic is doing this, but that doesn't happen. It's pulling a trigger and no one getting hurt. It's a building falling down on a bunch of people with no deaths. It's eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and not dying.
In other words . . . Grace, Love, God, is chaotic. In it is the peace that passes understanding.
