Chaos is the soul of creation. It plows the ground of intuition. Without chaos, nothing will grow.

When a seed sprouts, it's a violent process. The skin breaks and splits in two. Something dies and something is born. Anytime you paint a strong or violent image, you may be expressing that part of yourself that's opening in order to let the new emerge.
