Words create the illusion of knowing

Don’t scroll down so quickly

Stay with this

Stop here for a moment

Words create the illusion of knowing

How does a leaf create sugar

From sunlight, air and water?

How does a pine needle manufacture its own food?

How does moss give us the oxygen we breath?

Feeling is deeper then thinking

Knowing is deeper then feeling

Being is deeper then knowing

There comes a moment in each persons life

When thinking stops

The birth of your own child

A violent traffic accident

Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon

We entertain ourselves

With constant inner chatter

Oblivious to it

Until it stops

Those few who dive deep into the pool of inner silence

Know of what I speak

They too know that

Words create the illusion of knowing
