How many things we held yesterday as articles of faith which today we tell as fables.

Certainties have a way of becoming stories. Things once held without question get retold later with a smile, and the people who held them were not fools; they were working with what they had. Some of what you are sure of now is on the same road. Knowing that is not a reason to believe nothing, only a reason to hold things with an open hand.

Name one belief you would be embarrassed to be wrong about. Ask what would have to be true for it to be mistaken, and whether you have ever actually looked. Leaving the question open is enough.
