Knowledge → Time → Distance

To watch, not knowing

What is it in your life,

That you never met directly, as it is,

Rather, always from a distance?

Always from a distance of time.

Isn’t it yourself?

---

Isn’t it that whenever you tried to meet yourself,

By trying to see, Trying to know, Trying to, so-called expose, the nature of that which you are,

You always did it through knowledge, through exercise, Through self-assurance,

And you never dared to meet yourself with a total question.

---

You never dare to admit that not knowing that which you are,

Is the most direct observation,

Of that which you are, by itself.

Knowledge → Time → Distance

Unknown → Now → Yourself
