As in the case of lines, you are likely to stop when you are no longer sure you should go further – at the rear edge of the region of uncertainty.*
(Daniel Kahneman)
When man is born, the human race as well as individual, he is thrown out of a situation which was definite, as as definite as the instincts, into a situation which is indefinite, uncertain and open.**
(Erich Fromm)
We’re born into a world of lines.
Some are fine just the way they are: such as gravity and love.
But there are many more we can play and get bendy with: such as talents, purpose and stories.
A blessing to begin a day of playing with lines:
May the games of your belonging be generous enough for
your dreams.^
