Being open to possibility. Paying attention to find out how and why things are the way they are.

At one of our Rebooting Web of Trust events, Joe Andrieu requested that challenges need to be offered with "Grace & Curiosity". I like that framing.

A card for Curiosity has been proposed several times, and I've added it to my deck as one of my "blank" cards.

I'm curious! I appreciate hearing that some folks have added Curiosity to their deck.The pairing of "Grace & Curiosity," Christopher, was also very interesting to me. In the same Thu convo I referenced above, there was also an adjacent discussion about "wonder" and "awe" -- which I personally experience connected with "Grace."
…
I am VERY CURIOUS about the practice of "Challenge" and "Curiosity" in general, IN THESE TIMES -- with volatile polarization and somatic dysregulation impacting the foundational relationship we have with ourselves, others and our living planet. I am also curious about the purpose and value of "Challenge" and "Curiosity" in relation to the use of the deck in general -- when my lived experience on a daily basis OVERFLOWS with examples of how 'invisible' the dominant narrative is to most people (and, along with that blindness: the MANY ways the very 'waters we swim' in normalize violence and, predictably perpetuate generational harm).
(There is a LOT more in Chiu's reply about "structural and systemic inequities" about Challenge & Curiosity worthy of discussion)
