“We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.”
― Marshall McLuhan
What tools do you use? Do you use a torch to light your way and become a dispeller of darkness? Do you extinguish the light to ensure night takes its course? Do you wield a sword or a pen with bladed words of discernment? Do you serve wine or solace to those in need ? Do you work the earth and till the soil? How much of who we are is dependent on what we do and how we do it? How do we shape our lives and how does our life shape us. I feel after this past few weeks especially that it comes down to our choice and that sometimes the choosing is not very easy. But then baby steps are ok also.
Blessings, G

“Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness.”
― Marshall McLuhan
The largest problem with assumptions is not who they may or may not make asses out of but that their shelf life seems so limited. Most of the time we at least pay lip service to the fact that our assumptions are only hypothesis, best guesses as to the nature of reality. After all what are assumptions but the bridges we build across chasms of the unexplained? All too often tho our assumptions don’t quite fill the gap that we intend them too and we fight to defend them just knowing somehow we can make them stretch. This is a fool’s game at best. Assumptions are made to be disposable because there is always something better.
