"Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be Chaos.
Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish to the crowd."
~ Yunn Pann
Ah the Fool!
The fool dances between the realms of the conscious and the unconscious, getting ready to take a leap of faith into the unknown, leaving the world of chaos with all possible choice from that realm.
Trusting that out of the chaos will emerge a focused new form, new expression, new concept, the artist needs chaos to authentically and joyfully create. There has to be the confusion inherent in chaos to eliminate assumption. The true artist becomes facile in and with the morass of chaotic effluvium that is Creativity.
"Flaky" is sometimes substituted for "foolish". Do we look "foolish to the crowd"? Does our creation sometimes look foolish to the crowd? Of course, because in listening for Creativity's song we step outside the obvious, the familiar, the expected. In doing so we build on the familiar, expanding it to the unfamiliar, until what was unfamiliar becomes obvious and inculcated into the consciousness of humanity's acceptance.
Be brilliant. The true leader never turns around to see if anyone is following.
And if they laugh, you just might be onto something ...
