An Order to Things

Appreciate the order of things - they often happen well arranged.

For a slightly wild and impulsive heart, order and structure sometimes feel boring, restrictive, perhaps frightening - a kind of imprisonment. It can feel as though they will rob you of a precious vision, and the energy behind it will be dispersed across other, less interesting preoccupations. Imposed order and structure can feel like a grill across your heart. They are actually the reverse.

Without order, the monument has no sturdy foundation and will topple in the faintest breeze, and without structure the passionflower has nothing to curl its tendrils around in order to climb.


Order encourages patience, structure brings on self-control – necessary framework – and both are wise parents to the most fantastic of dreams. Therefore, be glad when order is taking its lead and let yourself be exhilarated by its rhythm, which builds so that wild hearts may get on and do their work well.
