Day 310 – Unknowing

Today I sit with unknowing;
where once was safe grey certainty
now is just nothing but fear
and hope– the planet is alive around me,
moving far too quickly–
and I know nothing.
I’m sitting down to nurse this headache
I’m sitting down to catch my breath
I’m sitting down to think and talk
to my whole self, a meeting we’ve got to have
to set things straight.
That safe grey certainty, I’ve given it all away
and I have to sit with unknowing
until discomfort sets me free.
