If the standard picture is that we are pushing back the walls of ignorance, the mystical view is that the ignorance must be there first, else there is nothing to push. The mind does not come to life until it meets what it cannot comprehend.*
James Carse

Knowledge of the self is as important as knowledge of the external world.**
Ken Robinson

I can see
and listen
but my heart
is a concern–

Am I pushing against?
Or falling into
what I do not know–
Surrender?–

I know
what doesn’t work–
The blag, the walk away,
Resistance, or putting off–

“I don’t know”
is the beginning
of my discovery–
Openheartedness–
