  • Entry 256: Entropy Increases


    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer.
    Things fall apart. The centre cannot hold.
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

    -- William Butler Yeats

    I was introduced to these line of poetry from a book I read in my high school years. Things at work were collapsing left and right so it was fitting. My friend Gene responded by saying, "ah yes and don't forget that entropy increases it always increases in the end."

    In the last two days things have gotten chaotic outside of work. Mom called me crying on the phone. The situation is getting out of hand. Hitomi hinted at craziness on her side as well.

    It's funny. Things can be so messed up that actions become clear and your sense of purpose is potent.
