And that letting go of all one knows
honoring the willingness and courage
to not know — to at last not name and define
to cease reading the maps drawn by those
who live under the spell of answers and knowing
and trust at last…
I am at last becoming the merry fool who knows nothing… and knows so.
The Heart and Science of Resiliency in Turbulent Times… workshop was enthusiastically received…
Thus it is I live more wholly in the un-knowing of an open mind and an open heart, for surely their gentleness and their wild resilience is like that of water, saying “Yes!” to all it encounters. Imagine a world where corporate and national sustainability policies were informed by the wild intelligence and un-knowing of water!
“Do one thing!” desperation urges me
“One thing,” as if that single act
must change my life
One thing, with presence
When the night wind makes the pine trees creak
And the pale clouds glide across the dark sky,
Go out, my child, go out and seek
Your soul: the eternal I.
When we realize that we are indeed standing upon holy ground, in that is the experience of our own holiness as well
