It is increasingly common, especially in thinking fields, to have to know answers and be right, first. We train ourselves to have agile, problem-solving minds. And flexing them becomes competitive – in meetings, in brainstorming sessions, or merely in conversation.
But this kind of posturing becomes tiresome and totally restrictive – it is better to presume nothing.
Saying "I don't know" is a brave act, and a powerful acceptance of possibilities.
So with that I left the grid today, to join Project M (for a short while) and help in any way I can.
The minute I turned on my radio after the Holland Tunnel, that jangly guitar riff to Sweet Home Alabama started.
I chuckled (not out loud) and put in the Talking Heads.
