| Sins and Retributions |
So, to make atonement for these words that have already laid detriment to their own use, let's placate convention by playing with 3 enduring principles to be used in our relationships and practices.
1. Learn our stuff well, and then be willing to not know.
2. Be ready to let the creative fire of silence do its job.
3. Give an answer, but only if we must. Better to be it.
Now and then, for the sake of balance, let's go ahead and stock up on some useful information, - just for those rainy days.
When it comes to a choice between information and inspiration, though, you know what to do. In the meanwhile, bask in the glow of no information, and forget what you just read here.
