Suspending Judgement

Am uneasily aware that in the course of the day I expressed a couple of harsh judgements regarding folks who've crossed my path recently. They were genuine, honest, and reasonably considered judgements, but I need to remind myself that, for all that, they may be wrong-headed.

The first thing to do with a mind is to open it, as a wise man said. Actually, I wish I'd had the wit to say this, but I picked it up from Richard Williams's excellent blog over at thebluemovement.com, it being the final line in a particularly strong piece on the art and thought of Yoko Ono. 

I've pretty much always been entirely dismissive of her work. It looks like I might well have been wrong.
