From Mary Daly
And thanks to Gwen, for pointing this out; check the interview here:
I just don’t think that way, see, about guarding against. I’m thinking about plunging ahead. All right, I think you guard against decay, in general, and stagnation, by moving, by continuing to move. And with courage. And courage is like — it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: you get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging. I often draw the Spiral Galaxy on the blackboard, and instead of stars there are Moments. So each Moment, a real Moment, is an act of courage, and that means that the world will speak back to you — and that Moment speaks to the next one, and the next one, and the next one. OK, take the labrys: everything is double-edged. You “guard against” best by not even guarding — just by risking tremendously, and then you jump — Leap — into another sphere, or dimension.
Ah, so much to learn!
