About the web site…
No matter the origin, ours is an existence of adaptation. From the
earliest of our ancestors who developed language to convey successful processes
for survival, to our present innovations in technology, all is predicated on
conveyance of ideas. As our society becomes more complex, so does our method of
communication. Our language, spoken and then written, is a mere collection of
symbols whose design and purpose was, and remains, shaped to convey our ideas.
Not so difficult with concrete terms such as “water” “food” “sun” but extremely
interesting, exciting even, are the many abstract symbols we use everyday; words like, ‘love’ ‘happy’ ‘divine’. With
this in mind, I created THUNDERHEAD OF CHAOS as a medium to explore how it is
we are confident that we alone comprehend the truth of the words we know, where
our task seems to convince others of our correct interpretation. For words
serve as the bedrock to our concepts, feeding sacred beliefs that blossom into
faith for which so many of us die to prove unfailing. Our very unique and
personal universe is build upon these concepts that mostly go unexamined or
questioned.
Let me orient you to my association of the words that make up this
theme; Thunderheads are clouds often appearing before a thunderstorm, and
familiarity with storms are shared as such where its characteristics of
lightning , thunder, destructive winds and pelting hail and rain are the very
context of what a storm is; Chaos, according to Merriam-Webster, has several
attractive definitions;
a. A state of things in
which chance is supreme ~ oh yes
b. The inherent
unpredictability in the behavior of a complex natural system (as the
atmosphere, boiling water...) or in this case our social order.
c. A state of utter confusion
(resplendent with opportunity to discuss this quality)
d. A confused mass or
mixture ( see c. above)
Applied with good humor, along with a sense for discovery, let the
dialog flourish.
Thunderhead of Chaos is a website that offers positive inspiration; (sometimes), opinion pieces; (often), and thought provoking propositions; (frequently). Thunderhead of Chaos addresses the peculiar striving to explore and define this shared existence with others...as so often we conclude, it is they who are the crazy ones. Aspiring as we all are able, towards a world view more malleable than the current version that causes so much pain, undo grief, and excessive frustration. Let us cooperate towards comprehending a universally ubiquitous destination of happiness; within your soul, within your relationship with the world in which we both reside. Just pick up after yourself and we'll get along just fine.
I fretted on what topic I would begin with. There were so many I wanted to serve as the premier flagship of a long and distinguished run of thought. The echo of Albert Camus seemed most appropriate for this moment; "All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door." Or in the simplicity of conversation involving what do you think?
