The Art Of Knowing

Many people chose the path of knowledge Not knowing that knowledge is a substance Not to be consumed with narrow mindedness But to absorbed with no strings attached Now, many people are stuck in their bubble of knowledge They have unloaded all their personalities into this tiny box They have solidified their identities onto this thin branch of life They have constructed a profile based on a drop of knowledge Their career has followed a path of knowledge leading to the smallest puddle And they are now drank with this small amount of knowing Not aware of the vast ocean of awareness They have built their name around this dwindling puddle Expecting it to be a stream of knowledge But it's just a small pond It can only satisfy a few people Now, we are all walking around with pieces of knowledge And most of the time it is worthless and irrelevant We keep it in our lockers, briefcases and mind And pray for it to be needed, to be relevant We have to go back to the path of knowledge And understand the purpose of knowing We have to drink from the ocean of awareness Then we will fold our little pieces of knowledge And place it on the shredder Because we don't want to be limited By the small drops of knowing When there is a vast ocean of awareness That awaits our presence The art of knowing is not found in the book of knowledge The art of knowing is actually found on the open sea of awareness Don't be consumed by knowledge Be consumed by the possibility of opening new channels of knowing And follow your heart to the realm of the unknown ©
