“Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.” Henry Miller
Knowing
that one doesn’t know
is the most profound moment,
like seeing through a window,
not to the other side
so much as to see
what was not seen before,
a complete unknowing of
everything and a turning
to the inner compass
awaiting stillness.

This is one of those poems that works on a subliminal level that can’t be explicated. I quite like that in literary works.
