the religions of the world. From Zen
I have learned never to believe that
I have grasped the truth or have understood
anything fully.
From Taoism I have been taught to find
strength in yielding and never to believe
that my conception of the meaning of things
is ever completely accurate.
I have learned from Christian mystics
to be content of unknowing, to risk
the dark night of the soul, and to
cultivate deep and ironic ignorance.
Among the sufis and Native Americans
I find the image of the fool as a
person of holiness.
Thomas Moore
The Soul's Religion
