Not knowing

Embracing "Not Knowing" has changed my experience of life. Not knowing what will happen next - easy in some cases, damn difficult in others. Not knowing how I will feel. Not knowing what another person is feeling, why they are doing something the way they are, why they are even wearing the darn shirt they have one, let alone what lies deep in their emotional well.

Embracing not knowing brings freedom from judging which brings wisdom and compassion, the two gifts the Buddha promised to those who wake up. Thanks Big B.
