We spend so much of life hoping that one day we’ll finally know exactly what we’re doing. That we’ll arrive at some clear, tidy answer. How long till we get to wisdom in our lifetimes? Perhaps part of being human is learning to live gently in our not knowing. Maybe wisdom is not about having all the answers. Maybe it is simply about staying open, paying attention, and asking how best to use the time we have. For ourselves, for each other, and for the small part we each play in the bigger whole.
"If you open up to it, new perspectives can be born every single day of your life. It doesn't matter what age you are."
Listen to Rilke's own quest to live inside the unknowing of being a spark of human divinity.
Sometimes a new perspective literally opens us to the wisdom of our interconnectedness as part of Life we call Earth.
What ways of "not knowing" can you begin to live gently inside? Allow the acceptance of "I still have no idea" to open you to new perspectives each day.
