He wasn’t writing from stability; he was writing from the middle of chaos itself. The point isn’t that chaos is the problem — it’s that chaos is the source. Common’s 1909 “chaos in one” is the public-domain wording (not Kaufmann’s later “within oneself”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It’s For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who did their best work in the middle of a mess they hadn’t sorted out yet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe one who’s been told they were “too much” by people who were too little\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe maker who built something out of a year that nearly broke them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear the chaos.
