It looks to me like it is on the way to the lovely cabin where I stayed with the trees in the background...is that right? What type of foundation is it placed on? Who is the house for? Lovely roof! Congratulations Evera! Well done and Cheers from Anke PS on Valentine's Day last sunday I reminisced about our wonderful evening in 2006 at Hanging Rock, remember Henk?!

The experience of the 'unwritten' or at least to me unknown laws in the 'chaos' of peak-hour traffic in India gives me the impression of a flow, many currents in a turbulent river weaving a dynamic ever changing pattern...It reminds me of the title that Theodor Schwenk gave to his book on water: 'Sensitive Chaos' In Indian traffic 'chaos'. far from denying dignity, seems to generate it. A lot of attentiveness of what others are doing, giving way and being given way, patience in waiting and speed in responding. Horn-signals are part of the flow, a means of being perceived and showing intentions. Chaos as opportunity to improvise harmonies from moment to moment in the shared flow of time...Etc Etc As I said: food for thought. Thanks.

Thus sets of laws, some unwritten and some written, are exercised in all societies. This is why we have roads and traffic signals, though in some countries such as India and Italy, despite the traffic signals (or lack thereof) some unseen laws are at work. Chaos does not necessarily deny us a sense of dignity; it is how we deal with the chaos that is important. To become embroiled in sentiment leads to further chaos, causing the person who has lost touch with their true centre to become undignified, but also their treament of others around is an attack on those others' right to be treated with dignity.
