Certainty and Despair

"Not even the wise can see all ends." -Gandalf

Despair demands certainty. As long as a situation is not certain than there is hope. Hope is born of the unknowable and the unknowable births wonder.

Certainty itself is a kind of giving up. The universe has enough facts in it to support any belief. To pick one belief as certain, true above all others, is to stop trying to perceive.

I revel in my uncertainty. It allows hope and wonder to shine down through the cracks in my belief and keep me ever evolving. Ever in the thrall of wonder.

Always stepping of the cliff, whistling a tune, a dog nipping playfully at my heal.
