Our Certainty

Certainty can trap us in two ways: firstly, we can stand on it in the belief that it is a rock (when in fact it may simply be a belief), and secondly, it can stand in the way of what we really need to know, blocking out the light.

It’s worth considering if your work, your practice, your understanding, holds too much certainty (or not enough).
