#Fiction Monday (248) From orchid to chaos and fractals De la orhidee la haos si fractali

This game is hosted by Vinitha Dileep, on her blog  'Reflections' and
I discovered it on Esha's  blog. This time  the  word prompt is 'DISPEL'.

'Nu fi descurajat de neputinta ta de 
a imprastia intunericul din lume. 
Aprinde-ti candela si mergi inainte'.

On my windowsill I had an orchid that hadn't bloomed in a very long time. 
I wanted to see what effect would have, a solution to revive the roots, so I opened the 
plastic pot, which was cracked anyway and dispel the substrate in which the roots 
had been stuck. I was surprised to find that the base of the flower had been mounted 
in a small plastic structure and the roots, some of which were already dry, had twisted 
and  under the plant some gaps had formed in the substrate. So I wasn't surprised that 
my orchid didn't have much energy to make flowers anymore. 
I cleaned what was dry, moistened the roots and replanted it in a larger pot. 
Maybe it will recover after this rather invasive, yet relatively simple treatment. 

But everything gets complicated when I think about the apparent chaos of the reality in 
which we live. There is a theory of chaos, from which I learn that there is a kind of hidden
order in any complex evolution, so there may be a solution to chase it away or control it. 
However, I didn't really resonate with this theory. Not because I studied it to discover 
its flaws. But simply because hearing about a fractal reality, it seemed to me that it was 
more plausible, more beautiful, more... natural.

Pe pervazul ferestrei aveam o orhidee ce nu a mai inflorit de foarte multa vreme.
Am vrut sa vad ce efect va avea o solutie de revigorare a radacinilor, asa ca am 
desfacut ghiveciul din plastic, ce oricum era crapat, si am imprastiat substratul 
in care fusesera infipte radacinile. Am fost surprinsa sa constat ca baza florii
fusese montata intr-o mica structura de plastic si  radacinile, unele deja uscate,
se rasucisera si chiar sub planta se formasera niste goluri in substrat. Asa ca nu 
m-am mirat ca orhideea mea nu prea avea energie sa mai faca floricele.
Am curatat ce era uscat, am umezit radacinile si am replantat-o intr-un ghiveci
mai mare. Poate isi va reveni dupa acest tratament cam invaziv, totusi relativ simplu.

Insa totul se complica cand ma gandesc la aparentul haos al realitatii in care traim. 
Exista o teorie a haosului, din care aflu ca este un fel de ordine ascunsa in orice 
evolutie zapacita, asa ca poate exista si o solutie de a-l goni sau struni.  
Totusi nu am prea rezonat  cu aceasta teorie. Nu pentru ca as fi studiat-o pentru a-i
descoperi hibele. Ci pur si simplu pentru ca auzind de o realitate fractalica mi s-a 
parut ca aceasta este mai plauzibila, mai frumoasa, mai... naturala.

'Sunt multe feluri de lumina. Lumina
prieteniei poate risipi tot intunericul'.
