A system
that you cannot
fully comprehend..
is also one
that you would
struggle to control.
The One
where multiplicities
of simple elements..
give rise to a coherent
singularity.. The All.

With every grain
that falls upon a sandpile..
Their sum predictably
and linearly stacks.
But you cannot predict
which one of them..
shall be the grain of sand
that breaks the camel’s back.

Which one of them
shall push the system
to its criticality..
give rise to a cascade
of avalanches
that diverge into infinity..
and bend our neat and tidy
picture of reality.
