Humility

We like to talk about it.
Proudly, we carry it with us.
Proudly, we assume we know it.
We dress it in nobility.

But what is this Humility?

Maybe silence?
Maybe accepting that we cannot be certain?
Maybe another way?

Certainty is one path.
And there are so many of them.

Do my texts have humility?
Do they open something?
Do they awaken curiosity?
Do they prepare us for wanting?

Maybe my path is only for me.
That is why I can only inspire.
But Your path may be different.
Maybe so different from mine.

Go.
Try.
Search.
There is only inspiration here.
And You are the king of your own life.
And You are the queen of your own life.

Can we learn through another person’s experience?
Surely, we are left with an interesting story
and some knowledge.
And yet theory remains only theory
until we try it for ourselves.
Only through practice does something become Yours.
Only through practice did something become mine.

One thing supports me.
Another does not.

How am I supposed to know which one?
By trying to live with that question.
By taking that question with me into my day.

“But I want an answer.”
“I don’t want to waste time.”

We lose it anyway.
Waiting for an answer.

Maybe the answers will come
once You set out.
On a journey that is Yours alone.
