Inconclusively

The unintelligent jump to conclusions.
The wise just observe.*

Derek Sivers

As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery…
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.**

Constantin Cavafy

Wisdom comes
to us as we journey–

Each of us
will inevitably reach our conclusion–

Before this–
Vastness through noticing–
