Traditions

One cannot rehearse tradition; one observes and LIVES a tradition…or not.

Tradition fashions by consequence of its boundaries, extolling awareness upon one’s unique personhood in THIS specific time and space.

To create is an indictment, to DARE to DECIDE.

It is not to cajole, try, convince, preserve, nor replicate.

NO ONE, can stand in for you.

– JC Heisler
