I Don't Know

The sun lives in a state of I don't know,

knows not of astrophysics or about predictably rising in the morning;

and yet the sun does rise, in shinning brilliance.

Nature is in a constant state of the I don't know.

The apple knows not of gravity.

The bird knows not of aerodynamics.

The stream knows not of hydrology.

The engine knows not of thermodynamics.

We are all part of nature, every being and every part of creation,

truly knows not of anything.

In faith, trust, and surrender,

nature, in full consciousness, pays attention.

It is only in this state of not knowing hat miracles happen, synchronicitis, and wonders

Isn't gravity after all a miracle,

manifest both as water flowing in a fountain, and an eagle soaring in the wind?

Miracle upon miracle, so much bounty and abundance in our world!

It almost could be missed or taken for granted.

We think certainty makes us safe, the ability to predict the future

But only the state of uncertainty

can truly meet our needs, care for us,

save us when all hope is lost.

This constant companion, guide, and protector

is the I don't know.
