This is one of the most vibrant lines from my very favorite poem ever, Mythopoeia by JRR Tolkien, and particularly relevant to me right now. I’m all for order, for harmony, for peace, for teamwork. I really am. But I am not for order at the expense of creativity, for it is from the chaos of creativity that the most effective order is formed. Without the primordial chaos of creative productivity, what would there be to put in order anyway? Order does not necessitate stagnation of creation. Perfect order might, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen, and I don’t think anyone really wants that anyway. So I’ll be here, creating beautiful chaos and drinking tea and trying to figure out which parts of the chaos are worth preserving. #chaos #creativity #mythopoeia #jrrtolkien #tolkienquote #tolkienquotes #wordstoliveby #wordsofwisdom #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday #subcreator #subcreation #witch #witchcraft #witchyvibes #witchesofinstagram #witchesofaustin #witchesoftheworld #queen #yesqueen #ibowtonoone #noonebowstome #sovereignty #sovereign #createyourfuture #chaosofcreation #createdtocreate #makersgonnamake #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram (at Middle Earth)
