A dangerous idea: your beliefs don’t just guide you—they limit you. From a spontaneous night in the Game House to a walk toward the Church of Reconciliation, Andrew argues for temporarily suspending belief to see more clearly: Nature as Master Teacher, moral superiority as a dead end, and courage as the path to self-reliance. Voltaire, Emerson, Whitman—and the char of real forest fires—frame a simple challenge: expand the boundaries of what you believe or be confined by them.
