Outside The Inner Circle

Inside
The well contained
Solid boundaries
Of the inner circle
There were so many questions
I had no answers for
But thought someone
Wiser
Further along on the journey
Did
Must

Outside

The inner circle
Which had grown too small
Still many questions
I have no answers for
But I know now that
No one really does
No matter how long
They’ve been on the journey
No matter what
They tell you

And I am everyday more Ok with this

Because not knowing it all for sure
And saying so
And living with that
Is a huge relief

And the questions are brilliant

And the asking is brave

And though the inner circle

Is filled with good smart people

Good smart people are

Here with me now too
Lots of them

Standing room only

Outside the inner circle
