What Knowledge is Hiding

"What knowledge is hiding" has the double meaning, the multiple perspectives loved by poetry. Knowledge is a pillar supporting our world. But the pillar blocks our sight of what lies beyond. Stepping around it we encounter new knowledge, new pillars. We come upon what knowledge doesn't know. Our knowledge supports while it obstructs.

The cyclic art of forgetting what we know. Paradoxically, we then know more. Or perhaps, rather than knowing, we are more. But, being the beings trapped in words, we talk about knowing and the need to forget again.

Or we think of non-knowledge as the place of our dead friends. A comforting escape. It seems impossible to be non-knowledge. To be being. Contradicting myself as I speak.
