I Don't Know
I love the phrase "I don't know." To me, it's a mantra of supreme power, a declaration of independence from the tyranny of having to figure it all out. Sometimes I don't want to have an opinion about every damn subject. Sometimes I want to be free to be a curious, innocent learner, not a cocksure, well-informed expert. Will you intone the magic words with me now, beauty and truth fans? I DON'T KNOW. Try it again, this time with all your heart. I DON'T KNOW. Isn't it a relief to let go of the pressure to be on top of everything? Doesn't it feel real to embrace the only truth we can all be totally sure of? I DON'T KNOW. Sing it loud and proud. Let it empty your mind and lift your heart. I DON'T KNOW. Use it as a battle cry, a joyous affirmation, a manifesto expressing your oneness with the Great Mystery. I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW! |
