There are two kinds of heretics. There is the kind that wants to destroy orthodoxy. They will destroy the world to preserve their power and privilege. Then there are the heretics who want to destroy the obstacles to orthodoxy’s unfulfilled potential for goodness and beauty. They see the current social and organizational structures resisting growth and innovation in order to preserve a dead orthodoxy that needs to be buried in the trash bin of history. The orthodoxy of human creative potential never dies. It is living orthodoxy of hope and purpose. And is emerging from its slumber to show us the way forward.
I guess everything stance has its shadow. What I find concerning is the desire by those whose need is to harvest attention, rather than promote exploration, is to see only the shadow....
Yes, in sensing rather than naming, measuring, determining, or any other kind of directing, we can discover and maybe even share in the experience of a thing. I think you nailed it.
I don’t think we have to. It’s like breathing. We just have to notice we’re doing it. That takes me to thoughts of ritual, and rhythm....and sanctuary.
The domain of the artisan. And to dwell there requires a certain obstinacy. A refusal to be rushed or to succumb to the pressure of the times or to influences of convenience.

Yes, totally agree.

How do we remember to sense?
