" A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again."
Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism:215
Knowledge is a state:
a stark revelation.
More information,
never leads to answers,
but opens more
unanswered questions.
To remain ignorant
is often an excuse
foisted upon us,
tyrannically imposed,
as if ignorance offers
safety and protection.
The innocent:
idealized recluse.
For in learning,
as in living,
not having all the answers
is exactly the point.
Continuing to ask,
is continuing to care
and continuing to create,
is continuing to dare.
