*Life will never be about finding the answers to all of your questions, for some questions should indeed remain answerless. It is more so about finding contentment in the answers that you do have and embracing your ignorance in the rest*
So go ahead and tell me that an idle mind is referenced with stupidity and I in turn will inform you that our intellectuality is the root source of our misery.

Interesting convo with yourself Meg, and I'm nodding my head in agreement as I listen-in. Cheers! - Dan

Re: I know that I know not
Very well said megz.
I really like it. It sounds like an opening to an A+ essay.
I totally agree, some questions should remain just the thoughts, of what the answer could be. And being thankful in not knowing what the answers are.
I always look forward in reading your work. Great write!
Blessings

Re: I know that I know not
I confess that this mindset is a bit foreign to me... I wonder what kind of question should be unanswered? The idea of embracing ignorance seems to go against my very being as a scientist whose job is to question every thing! However, I thank you for showing me this perspective, so that I can learn from a viewpoint beyond my own.

Re: I know that I know not
I was just finishing a 2 hour slog on the lap top going through my daily paper work routine to keep my business running, when my two wee very old and very lazy dogs sauntered past me to wander out into the garden to catch a few evening rays. Had me thinking" which of us is the cleverer? me or the two old mutts?" Then I read this wonderful piece and seem to have found the answer! Lovely piece of writing. Well done on the spotlight.
