Entrenched Positions
Have you ever reflected on what entrenched positions you live comfortably with every day? Entrenched views about politics, the weather, people you know, the department you just struggle to work with. Somehow it is far more comfortable to order our world into boxes of perspectives where we can put that there and put this here. Leaning on our own limited understanding is a temporary but often satisfactory comfort. Oh but the exhilaration and endless possibility of unpicking the positions we take. It is messy - of course its messy but just as when you start to tidy your bedroom it looks much much worse before it gets better, the end product is also something to marvel at.
