Leap of Faith

A poem

Picture Credit: KJ Gupte

Truth is, we are all scared

Scared, of what we don’t know we don’t know

Of what we KNOW we don’t know

Of what we know and pretend to NOT know.

Truth is, we are all scared, scared of ourselves

Scared that we are powerful

Powerful enough to hurt

Hurt ourselves more than those around.

Truth is, we are all scared, scared that all that really matters is I

I who is carrying (me) since I was born

I who knows things (about me) that no-one else does

I who wished not to see (some things) that I saw

I who wished to forget (some things) to let new things in

I who wished at times to not (be).

Truth is, we are all scared, scared that it is all more real than we want it to be.

Truth is, there is no Mindfulness

Without absolute Mindlessness.

Truth is……. (somewhere in-between)

The mindfulness…

….And the mindlessness.

Truth is.. the (not) knowing..

Truth is…a leap of Faith.
