## Resource

In a world of constant change, we search for something steady. Drawing from geometry’s fixed origin and the idea of an anchor in the fog, Brian reflects on the need for an unchanging reference point. Confidence doesn’t remove uncertainty—it tethers us within it, offering a steady sense that we are not drifting, even when we cannot see clearly.
