Further to my entry: http://theonlyconsequence.blogspot.com/2010/07/pram-in-hallway.html I recently came across a brilliant article in the Guardian where Frank Cottrell Boyce makes the case for chaos!! www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/aug/01/art-children-pram-hallway
There's a belief that to do great work you need tranquility and control, that the pram is cluttering up the hallway; life needs to be neat and tidy. This isn't the case. Tranquility and control provide the best conditions for completing the work you imagined. But surely the real trick is to produce the work that you never imagined. The great creative moments in our history are almost all stories of distraction and daydreaming – Archimedes in the bath, Einstein dreaming of riding a sunbeam – of alert minds open to the grace of chaos.
