what happens if control loosens?

an encounter with control ↔ trust

control often begins as intelligence.

something mattered enough that you learned how to protect it.

anticipate.

prepare.

manage.

hold.

control becomes visible when the effort required to maintain it begins to exceed the life it is protecting.

this does not mean control should simply be abandoned.

first ask:

what does control believe would happen without it?

what is it preventing?

what is it preserving?

what does the body do when certainty disappears?

trust is not passivity.

it is relationship with what cannot be completely controlled.
