Mapping a Practice

We will often map out our practice, diagraming where we’re at, what we’re focusing on, our objectives, etc.

A map might lend the illusion that the practice is neatly categorized into cute little boxes. But the intention behind such a map is not to promulgate the illusion of hierarchical order. It’s to provide a pragmatic starting point for a more dynamically alive conceptualization based on engagement.

The map will have to be redrawn anew, over and again, forevermore, because the territory will change as a reflection of our own evolution. That’s inherent to *practice*, where WE are part of the territory.

Complete systems are already impossible in purely objective systems - this is nothing compared to practice in which subject and object are both interwoven!
