Inquiring Mind

During a point in our life
Many of us have been told:

"Believe None Of What You Hear 
And Half Of What You See." 



Yet and still
 Undivided precedence is given
To misconceptions
As ears readily accept smidgens of truth.
Lost in telepathy
Of sordid projections.


For many
Reality is interjected
via formal 'education', impersonal communication
Mass media, social networks
And a plethora of uncontrollable hosts.

Daily, ingesting
 Manufactured
Concepts.



At Exactly What Point 
Do You Start To Realize That
Life Without Knowledge, Is Death In Disguise.....




Apply it to your life, let destiny manifest.....

During my adolescence
I fell in love with the quote:

The Absence of Knowledge

Creates The Image Of Perfection 

To me the words above are vast in meaning,
But if I had to sum it up
I would say:

 The beginning of many things
Or encounters
 Is an unknown.

Which
At times
Is a form of perfection.

Until

One delves beneath omnipresence
Peeling away layers upon layers
Obtaining insight

Obliviousness is no longer obscure
Revealing
What blind acceptance
And unquestioning
Hides.

Think, Dissect, Reflect.

For me

Constant inquiry 

Is the foundation of existence. 

Contentment 

Is a reflection 

Of internal demise. 

In many instances

To come across something

 That doesn't make sense: 

"We Learn More By Looking For The Answer To A Question

And Not Finding It

Than We Do From Learning The Answer Itself."

As information is gathered

Thought processes

Consistently prevail.....

Through the prevalence of movement

From adolescence 

To adulthood. 

My ways of being

 Has be subjected 

To ridicule

To name a few

 Other's have often

 Labeled me as:

"Trying to kick knowledge" 

"Believing I'm smart" or a

"Pseudo-Intellectual" 

In middle childhood 

Said mockery 

Was offensive

As a woman 

I recognize the transparency

Of a naysayers trepidation....

Who honestly 

Takes pride

 In what they don't know?

Is one supposed to be ashamed 

Of what they've learned

And their curiosities

Or 

Be a reflection of ignorance

To make others comfortable?

Only those who are inept by their inadequacies

Disguised as judgement 

Can answer

I strive to dwell amongst those who are receptive

To learning and questioning

As I open myself up to be taught. 

Knowing.....

Through various realms

 I've come to appreciate

And gained an understanding that:

"The Wisdom Of The Wise

 And The Experience Of The Ages 

May Be Preserved By 

Quotations"

****

As my
Mind
Inquires

In avoidance
Of the swarm
I know:

Life,

Life is about

Evolving and growing

Elevating

Constant Growth.....

Until my last breath

Continuously

 Manifest....
