Prayer to Ariadne for Adaptive Thinking

clever Ariadne, child of seagirt Crete,

wise and cunning one whose agile mind finds purchase

on the frailest of notions, the slightest of signs,

goddess who turns, and turns, and turns again

until the way is clear. Ariadne, goddess,

I am blinded by expectation, shackled

by experience, bound to the proven and the known.

Open my mind to all that is possible,

light for me the paths long abandoned, long unknown.
