Creating Chaos

As with any new project, there is the idea, the gathering and reorganizing of materials, followed by the completion. In the middle of that process is the chaos. In the middle of the chaos comes new information and new ideas unanticipated within the original thought. In this chaos is where the Rock River Cafe' lives right now.

The process hasn't been completely different from pregnancy. There was the belief that something would be born, and the knowledge that something could go wrong before birth. There was the nameless stage where it was hard to predict the impending personality well enough to name it. There was the false sense of knowing... the moment when you think you are in control, quickly followed by the moment that reminds you that you're never in control.

We are still nesting. The cafe' hasn't been born yet. It hasn't begun to develop that personality that goes beyond its creators yet.  We'll keep you posted.
