Today I am realizing how much I don’t know, but also “the so important knowing” matters less.
Knowing what I do not know is believing, believing with uncertainty, but believing in what?
What do I believe in? I believe in more, more than this, more than material existence.
I have no need to believe in any specific person place or thing, sacred word or words.
I experience feelings, they teach me, I feel them come and go.
I don’t know if they are good or bad, I do know they leave me less peaceful or more so.
I trust the experience, but with more curiosity, than certainty. I want to experience more.
I believe that peace is our destiny and can only be achieved by equality and justice for all the living.
I am very aware of the capacity for evil, whether from the barren mountain of self-rightousnesss,
Or the dismal swamp of desire. As I know my fear, I must also know my courage.
I will not be subject to the will of others, I will hold to a faith in the destiny that is universal,
And still being discovered. Not a destiny that is claimed as absolute truth by anyone.
I am learning there is much that I don’t know, also much that I don’t believe.
I hope I never stop being amazed by what I don’t know, or discovering what I don’t believe.
God bless the travelers.
