“One has to abandon altogether the search for security
and reach out to the risk of living with both arms.
One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing.”
-Morris L. West
There is more to all things
than is seen with the eyes,
or written down in words
or portrayed in images.
It’s only the curious,
the fearless seekers
willing to lose their reputation
at all costs
who uncover the truth.
Some things are hidden
in plain sight,
but cannot be seen
by those who close their minds…
It’s real easy to seek truth,
all it takes is a little courage,
a heart willing to forgive
both oneself
and others,
a constitution
humble enough
to admit one is wrong,
and grace to move
joyfully into the uncertainty
of living.
To be willing to be taught,
even by those who we
have looked down on,
or disregarded as experts,
or have judged
insufficient of intellect.
To sometimes believe the unscientific
the dreamers
the mystics
the ones who have an inner knowing…
To embrace humanity
with both arms
like a lover
seeing always with the eyes
of the heart
and be reconfigured
by a beautiful mind.
So unclench those fists
unbolt those doors
and let the unimaginable
the undiscovered in…
