Often I reflect on what I know, what I'm learning {what I've learnt} and I ponder what and how I feel. And then I write.
I wonder about all that too - what I know, what I feel, what I see and what I don't. And then I write.
Sometimes I just write.
But lately, I've been caught up in all I really don't know. {And not writing}.
I'm forever wanting to learn {hear, understand, read} new things. But mostly I want to relearn what I do know on a deeper level.
Maybe that's why I love yoga so much. I may have practiced the same pose for five years but how I feel it and the way I witness it changes almost every time.
This week when I sat down to write, what I do know got shuffled to the back of my mind and what I don't know buzzed forth.
I'm sure the answers to what I don't know will come when I need them {or not at all if I don't need them...}
Things I don't know:
~ What anyone else is going through at any one time. {Acknowledging that makes me more accepting, forgiving, tolerant, understanding}.
~ Why it took me so long to work out I just needed to slow down. {Wow, life feels so much better at this pace.}
~ Why I can't get to the end of my to-do list. Ever.~ Why I think having three different to-do lists will make me more efficient. I'm just confused. And unsure where to start.
~ Why {for the first time} I don't feel I need a Christmas present this year. {I think my recent gratitude practice may have something to do with it though...}
~ Why I keep changing my mind about what I want to be when I grow up. {And if that will ever stop...}
~ Why we {little miss three and I} can't find a rainbow. It rains and then the sun shines. That should equal a rainbow. Right?
~ Why friends you haven't spoken to in years come back into your life at the perfect time. {Love that they do}.xx
{Writing down what I don't know reinforces that there's so much more to learn and see and be amazed by in this world. Although, sometimes what I don't know {understand} just baffles me. Maybe there are more Things I Don't Know posts to come. We'll see...}
What don't you know?

Love that you do x
DeleteNot knowing makes life more interesting... i never want to know it all because then I will stop searching. Like your search for a rainbow! xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Always more to learn, or a lesson to relearn on a deeper level I think xx
DeleteI wish I were more like you. I race through things, desperate to get to the next thing, and have such little persistence. I would love in theory to do the same yoga pose for five years, but in reality I do two salute to the suns every two months. My life has no rhythms...strangely, in the chaos it works. But your words inspire me. x
ReplyDeleteWhatever works for you Zanni xx It took me a long time to realize slow was the perfect pace for me x
DeleteThere have been a few unanswered questions for me too, I do hope that I find an answer to them soon life would be so much calmer if I could perhaps I need to sit and listen more maybe the answer will come to me. I also wish I knew the answer to what I want to be when I grow up:) xx
ReplyDeleteI think sitting down and listening (stopping too) is often the key. Need to do some more of that too xx
DeleteJust found your lovely blog .... so glad I did and I look forward to reading more. M
ReplyDeleteSlowing down...........in todays hectic environment this is a really important one I think. I've embrassed it. Loving simple. Have a great week. x
ReplyDeleteI totally agree on the yoga front - it is so amazing for bringing awareness to the little things. x
ReplyDeleteNot knowing can be so overwhelming sometimes but other times I find that it really compels us live better lives. To question, to discover, to search. These are all good things. Happy to have stopped by your blog.
ReplyDeleteI think for me, it's the not knowing that compels me to keep searching, learning and growing...though it can all get overwhelming at times.
ReplyDeleteI'm still unsure of what I want to be when I grow up but am happy with where I am currently at :)
