Chaos

I wrote Chaos in 1977, likening certain risk taking to a caterpillar about to spin a cocoon.  Once the decision is made there is a time delay, only after which can the results of the the risk taking be evaluated.  It is the decision to take the risk and the time delay after doing so that can be scary.

               Chaos

Said 
the butterfly
to his friend the

caterpillar in a tree:

"Look at me and see what 

you could be if  you let go.
Declare an end. Be free. Die!!"

:O(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)(|)

"But said he, I am afraid of the time

of chaos between now and then after

I build my cocoon and have

to wonder whether I

should have forged
ahead or stayed
behind."
