KNOWING
“Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We don’t know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don’t know.”
Dear Hadley,
I wanted to let you know that for all I think I know, I still know enough to know that I don’t really know much of anything.
Better to accept this early than late. And then get on with learning how to rest in the unknown without having a panic attack.
(As with all things, this acceptance is a work in progress for me. But I'm finding more and more beauty right here, in this gray space.)
Also, now seems like a good time to point out that all of these letters are coming from someone who doesn’t know. I trust you'll understand and take and leave pieces and parts as you see fit.
Forever, always, of course, and with rare, unwavering, definite-one-hundred-percent-for-sure-no-doubt certainty: I love you.
Aunt Liz
