The last one in the canoe

The upcoming detective story has its ups and downs.
The main character Kozel, seems to have schizophrenia or better said I would like to create him as one who has it. This would explain all the inconsistency of the novel and answer to the general question why: 'Why the hell the novel lacks it proper course of action, logical course of action.
And to answer to this, I can tell you that all this theme of introducing a character then develop it, or make him 'different' it all is fine, however, keeping to a logical plot in the novel makes me dizzy. Life itself is not logical, we try to make it, we strive to achieve some sort of congruity in life, and that is all right, but, I say, but why don't we for a moment, stop, just stop, and let the flow of things take us where it naturally goes. Just for a moment lie down in the canoe on water and taken by the water current, move slowly in the boat in the forest, where the wind blows and where the sun goes down.
Why?
Why should we try to do this? It's simple, to get a view on things from a distant perspective. First, to rest from all that hassle, all day work and worries to straighten your life, to put it in order. Secondly, to have a clear mind, to purify yourself with the only sound that was here on earth not disrupted by electric current that powered PCs, mobile phones or car's engines. The sound of wind, water and trees, plus animals (what a miracle that these birds out there in the trees are still alive, that we don't have to buy electrical sheep like in the novel by Philip K Dick!).
Ok, where was I? Ah, yes, the boat and the the sound of tranquility, yes, tranquility  which means nature, not electronic devices. And what then? Then you can, or you have to return to set order to things again, because the world is like that, because you have to earn for the living and have to participate in that mess. Nevertheless, once you put order to things you can always return to the boat and cry out: 'Fuck you! You electronic, electric, eclectic devices that make my eyeballs worse and worse till I go blind like John Milton who wrote Paradise Lost once! Fuck that Apple, Macintosh, HP, Samsung and other companies from whom you buy that devices, you feed yourself with it and where you probably work for them, you being an ant in the molehill, because you don't belong there!
Kozel, you are my buddy, you HAVE to break that. I am counting on you...Don't let me down.
