No Easy Answers
Are you the answerman or the answerwoman? Are there things you know, and truly know, so that others who know you come to know them too? No doubt as your knowing grew so too did your reputation, and your appetite, and your ignorance, and your impatience, until one day all of it became a burdensome feast. All this and more, before that moment happened when you knew nothing, and nothing you knew was of any help. So you felt helpless, undone by your ignorance, this unfamiliar not-knowing, an unexplored darkness; that dark night with no moon, and so chilly too. Being desperately lost is often all it takes to be undone, so that when the light returns nothing will be more certain than your uncertainty, and you no longer have easy answers for anyone- least of all yourself.
