If it comforts you at all, Will, think of the structure behind this particular randomness. There is a generator, programmed by someone, that rearranges words into poetic phrases. There is order in that.

I'm not full on pro-chaos, I appreciate order, things being in place and all. What I also am learning to appreciate are all the things I have no control over, and that bring me pleasure if I shift my perspective.

Rowing my coracle steadily onwards...

And don't forget that even in apparently chaotic systems there is often order. Sometimes you just need to add a little more chaos, and then suddenly a pattern emerges.

(See also: Bellwether, by Connie Willis; Free Will Astrology (http://www.freewillastrology.com); any discussion of chaos theory.)

I'm not saying that's necessarily the case here, mind you... but like you, I like to try and appreciate both sides, order and chaos, ordered chaos, chaotic order.
