What Joy, Is To Know Everything Not?

What joy is to know everything not,
To revel in the mysteries life has brought,
For in the vastness of the unknown lies,
A world of wonders that never dies.

With each new day, a chance to explore,
To wander through realms unseen before,
Unshackled by the weight of absolute knowing,
A journey of learning, forever ongoing.

In the depths of ignorance, we find bliss,
A humble recognition, a lover’s first kiss,
For knowledge alone cannot quench our thirst,
It’s the quest for wisdom that truly comes first.

The whispers of truth, like elusive fireflies,
Dance in the shadows, where curiosity lies,
Embracing the questions that can’t be answered,
We find solace in the mysteries that have gathered.

For what is life without a sense of surprise,
Without the enchantment found in uncharted skies?
It’s the thrill of the chase, the pursuit of the unknown,
That kindles the embers where joy is sown.

So let us celebrate the realms unseen,
And cherish the spaces where knowledge convenes,
For in the humble admission of what we don’t know,
Lies the boundless potential for wonder to grow.

What joy is to know everything not,
To bask in the beauty that ignorance brought,
For in our yearning, in our humble quest,
We find the essence of knowledge’s true zest.

Escape

There is a power inside,
A power that wants out,
An out that doesn't exist,
That doesn't exist yet,
Yet it must be,
Because why would it feel so real,
So real if it didn't exist,
Just give me a chance
A moment to realize the out,
Maybe to imagine it into being,
To believe it exists,
To create it,
To know it,
To go there,
There where my energy is,
Where I am complete,
There where I am whole;
Where I am who I am;
Where I am me;
Where I can be me;
I can do me;
I can live me
I can live true
There where I will live true,
Authentic and genuine to myself
To my being;
To my nature
To my original purpose
As I am
Just let me free
Please let me free;
Set me free,
Set me free, time;
Set me free, soul;
Be free,
Be free, me
Be free;

A damn-like life

Photo by Jacob Kiesow on Unsplash

You uphold gentleness,
bullies tag along;

You observe righteousness,
troubles follow you;

You love, like really love,
they eat your heart;

The silent knows,
what the quiet says;

The wise understand,
what the learned speaks;

the lonely feels, the lonely sees,

...incomplete, to be continued...

Am Free, Am Limitless

My limitations, lack, misfortunes, shortcomings, weakness, failures are my opportunities, is my advantage, is my freedom

There’s nothing i can’t do now, am limitless.

I have no status to maintain, i have no loyalty to keep, i have no pride to guard, i have no promise to fulfill, am free.

Exitus acta probat ~ the outcome justifies the deed.

I want to be responsible for my words, a man if my words; without it am nothing. I will be grateful. I will be ethical. I will protect life. I will honor hard work. I will respect the journey. I will appreciate the trying. I will love. I will love.

“Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.” ~ Ravi Zacharias’ brother

Ravi Zacharias, I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah: Moving from Romance to Lasting Love

Time, patience, youth and good health will be my treasures.

…a certain koi had the strength and courage to climb a certain waterfall. When the koi reached the top exhausted, yet having reached its goal, the koi was transformed into a dragon…

The Story of the Koi Dragon

Value is not in work, value is in the process, the experiences, and the impact in another person.

Put your hand into the Hand of God

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”

What don’t you complain about?

You complain about what they do and what they don’t;

You complain how the economy is, and how it is not;

You complain when it rains and when the sun is shining;

You complain when things go well as well as unwell;

You complain when you work and when its luck;

You complain when you are hungry and when you’ve overeaten;

You complain how life is unfair and when it fairly treats you;

You ask for more freedom but wish for less responsibility;

Now that am here, now that we are here;

Now that am here, now that we are here;

What shall I lose to say what I didn’t like about you?

You cooked good meals I know…

You washed my clothes well…

You tendered our house always…

But that’s not what I choose you for;

I wanted a helper, you were;

I wanted love, you were;

I wanted to be loved, you did;

I wanted someone your shape,

I wanted someone your height,

I wanted someone your smile,

I wanted someone your charisma,

I wanted someone your aura,

I wanted anything and everything you.

And now we got to say goodbyes,

I wish you a beautiful life,

I wish you prosperous endeavors,

I wish you fruitful encounters.

I loved you like my heart,

I grew to love you more than me,

I had matured in love with you,

You helped me learn true love,

I learnt…

For anything I did wrong, bear my apologies.

I did it all with good intention.

I would ask you to stay once more,

But I don’t want to live doing that,

Go well and live well,

I hope we meet sometime and somewhere we are both happy,

I wish you success and luck in love,

Am sorry if you didn’t feel loved by me,

I realize there are some things I don’t want to change about me,

As I realize there are some things you won’t compromise either,

Am really, really sorry for anything that hurt you, it was never intentional,

Don’t worry about me, I will be fine, I’ll try to be fine…

Now that am here, now that we are here; Read More »
