REALIZING CHAOS

No one can save us from the state of chaos or samsara unless we 
understand the meaning of chaos and confusion, unless we have 
experienced it and suffered from it. Otherwise, although we may be in 
the midst of chaos, we don't notice it. You don't begin to notice 
chaos until you are already on the path. Then you begin to feel 
uncomfortable. You feel that something is a nuisance. Something's 
bugging you constantly. You realize the chaos when you are already 
making the journey.

 From "The Fourth Moment,"  in THE SHAMBHALA SUN, March 2006, page 46
