surrender into the not knowing

this is one of the strange things

of existence, that existence itself

can be hard to look at, the raw truth

or reality as opposed to our thoughts

and ideas of what we would like

reality to be

many turn away

from this truth, many

run away from this truth,

many drink and work and

do drugs and watch television

and stare into their phones

to get away from this truth

of reality as it is

the truth of

their very own

existence

it can be unsettling,

it is unsettling, to peer

into the vast regions of

unknown which engulf us

our planet is so small,

we are so small, what we

know is so small, compared

to the vast reaches of

our own ignorance

surrender into

the not knowing

and you will

more fully

know
