Tamper Proof

A lot of people out there defending tamper-proof world views. Striving to define reality correctly rather than navigate it responsibly. It is the difference between getting it right versus getting it alive. Do we need to be photographers who capture everything in the scene as accurately as possible in order to understand how to best live in that scene? Or do we need to become the co-authors of an ever-emerging, never-stationary, always-embodied experience which becomes real only as we make each choice along the way?
Such choices do not take place in a vacuum. The choices of those who have gone before provide valuable resources from which we can develop compasses, maps, directional and warning signs. It is when we step away from our own culpability in the development of the human story, that those compasses and maps become tamper-proof world views. Instead of insightful clues helping us craft a more meaningful future, they become blinding manuals that reduce the future to awkward encores of the past.
As I have said on other occasions, I find myself willing to risk getting it wrong in order to get it more alive.
