Our task is not to manage complexity, which implies trying to control it for intended results, but to respond to its presence. An example of this latter approach is found in the warnings given to participants in whitewater river-rafting: should you fall overboard and be drawn beneath the raft, do not fight the turbulence but give in to it, and you will return to the surface on the other side. Those who fight the turbulence often end up drowning.
