We humans really like to be right! This morning, we’ll explore the possibilities that can arise when we can let go of the need to know, and the role of curiosity in easing the anxiety uncertainty can bring. We’ll also have a decommissioning ceremony for our visiting stewards. [Image from needpix.com]
