THE DAO

I OFTEN FIND MYSELF LEANING TOWARD AN INTUITIVE APPROACH TO LIFE—A WAY OF OPERATING THAT, WHILE NATURAL, CAN FEEL ELUSIVE AND HARD TO DEFINE. LOGIC AND STRUCTURE DON’T COME EASILY TO ME, AND I SOMETIMES FEAR THAT MY THINKING LACKS THE GROUNDING THEY PROVIDE.

TO COUNTER THIS, I’VE SPENT TIME IMPLEMENTING ORDER THROUGH CODE-SWITCH®. THE PROCESS HAS BEEN CHALLENGING, BUT IT HAS LED ME TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM THAT EMBRACES DYNAMISM. PERHAPS THIS IS WHY I’VE GRAVITATED TOWARD THE IDEA OF A SYSTEM THAT CAN EXIST AT THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN ORDER AND CHAOS. IT REFLECTS MY INCLINATION TO OPERATE IN A STATE OF FLUX, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE CONCEPT OF THE DAO—NEITHER ENTIRELY FIXED NOR COMPLETELY DISORDERED.
