Clarity

Do you want to know the truth?
Or do you want your truth accepted by others?
Are you seeking, or are you asserting? 
Are you speaking, always working
The angle, searching for the advantage? 
You wear your certainty like a badge of honor, 
But pretending you understand what you do not
Will not prove your wisdom.  
Instead your actions reveal your discomfort with what is not known
And what cannot be known. 
Disabuse yourself of the law. 
Forget the dictums of your youth. 
Blur the bright lines, quiet the busy mind,
And stumble forward over rocky ground into the ready embrace of change. 
It is here where clarity begins.
