WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW
Do not despise
the sinking dread
Do not turn away
from that hollow ache
To not know
is to be human.
Do not hate the world
for what it will not tell you
Do not hate yourself
for what you cannot see
Welcome the precipice
of your unknowing
as a gift
Open yourself
to the infinite possibilities
of goodness
that lie waiting
in your own befuddled
uncertainty
How wonderful to know
you are always just
one step away
from another world.
Notice how your trembling hand
catches the light
as you reach for
the threshold
Notice how even
in your terror
you feel so completely
alive
This is no mistake, dear one.
This is your heart
living a life.
Choose to be
a wild believer
in the essential goodness
of your own unfolding
Bare your chest.
Fling your arms wide
like wings.
They will bear you up.
There is grace enough.
