The artist confronts chaos. The whole thing of art is, how do you organize chaos?

You may say organize, organize, organize; but there may be so much organization that it will interfere with the work to be done.
You can organize elections any day, even tomorrow. But what will be the result of chaotic elections? More chaos!
Chaos is not disorder. Chaos is the totality of existence. You could call it God. You could use the term, the Tao. I like chaos. It means more to us in English. Chaos is all things, wild and wonderful, connected perfectly by the life force.
