"If I keep a green bough in my heart the singing bird will come."
- Chinese proverb
Yellow bird that lives on the patio of my apartment building.
Not Knowing
Sometimes you have to leave
what you think you know
behind.
No one ever really wants to do this.
Knowing things
thinking we know things
can be very comforting.
All day, soul whispers
what I need to know.
I don't hear her
until I lay aside
cherished beliefs and assumptions
until I dare to be with the
not-knowing.
And then. . . .
Well, that's the risky part, isn't
it?
There is no telling
what living an ensouled life
might ask of us.
