“There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.” (Herman Melville) Herman must have been looking at my desk. Can you think of other circumstances where Melville’s words might fit? ;-) Jack
N. R. BURR HAS AN INTERESTING FOLLOW UP....There's a "careful disorderliness" about flea markets, which I think makes them interesting, encourages people to look things over, and buy.
MORE ON DISODERLINESS FROM S. H.
The careful disorderliness of The Church in the Bible gives encouragement to keep on keeping on in the careful disorderliness of The Church today, making my desk and house awash in things to be read and studied--interesting is an understatement of what I think about this circumstance. Sometimes it's just plain frustrating.
It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy.
Hesiod

Disorder is of human origin?
And order is of Godly origin?
When God told Abraham to offer up his son as a sacrifice would that have been orderliness or disorderliness?
Careful disorderliness is usual in quilting where traditionally quilters needed to use up the fabric they had on hand and colors come together in a necessarily random way. The Amish make carefully ordered geometric quilts which look very modern artistically and I've heard they appreciate the mistakes in pattern that creep in sometimes because it shows the quilter has not achieved the perfection of God.
