A Poem For Today - Not Knowing

[KEN DICKINSON]

Not Knowing

I may not know my original face
but I know how to smile
I may not know the recipe for the diameter
of a circle but I know how to cut a slice
for a friend. I may not be Mary or the Buddha
but I can be kind. I may not be a diamond
cutter but I still long for rays of light
that reach the heart.
I may not be standing on the hill of skulls
but I know love when I see it.

Stephen Levine

but I can be kind."

This feels so close to humanity...to being human!
