The mystery of human consciousness and knowing, so very worthy of exploring, remains a mystery. What ARE our multiple ways of knowing? What a marvel it is that our minds allow us to examine and keep expanding our own thinking, to critique why/how we believe what we believe, and grow into holding together current knowledge and lots of uncertainty. May we be open to ongoing discovery, and experience joy in it. May we pursue not just knowledge, but also wisdom and emotional understanding.
"Groundless": when what I was standing on has been completely swept out from under my feet! Feeling a huge unknowing that is unsettling, like being shaken by an earthquake.
It helps to think that "There is nothing from which I cannot grow and learn."
