Randomness can be a cause for celebration, particularly when combined with generosity, such as when one “practices a random act of kindness.” Just the right amount of randomness transports a blues jam deeper into the heart or sparks a an encounter between strangers. Sometimes, it is not merely a single random event, but an accumulation of them which really makes the world run.

Consider blues music - a genre which in contrast to classical music invites and welcomes improvisation. Imagine a typical evening's performance, a guitarist onstage, struggling to connect his inner feelings with the motion of his hands and the sound his instrument produces. As playing gets more intense, the body couples ever more tightly to the instrument, and perhaps due to a bit of perspiration, a brief index finger slip near the 14th fret leads to a “wrong note” which the player's and listeners' ears quickly detect. Yet, the skilled player perceives it not as "wrong note," but as an unexamined slice of his story, and incorporates the new pitch into the song. Two shy listeners observe the whole sequence, and it delights them. When they simultaneously smile, they mutually recognize the expressions from the corners of their eyes and take it as a cue to move closer together. In their first conversation, one of them reveals, "I wasn't even supposed to be here, I took the wrong train. It was an accident..." Their conclusion is that fate brought them together. While their biological systems may have primed them for the experience, it was the accumulation of random events which produced the perceptible event.

Randomness heightens every other emotion, because it obscures perception, and mandates further observation and investment. When scientific predictions are made, such as whether a meteor will destroy the planet, or whether a new drug will help people, surveys are made, and noise, or random events must be separated. In a medical survey, a large number of people's observations are recorded, and the results discard if it turns out the someone was unable to follow the protocol exactly due to a random event, such as their car breaking down and they were unable to get the medicine.
