The Difference Between Knowledge and Wonder

Posted Feb 19, 2023 · 8 lines · 4 critiques

I have been on the earth for multiple decades
I continue to learn that I know less every year
The things I used to be SURE of
I am now not so sure
I am comforted by faith and little signs I get from my loved ones that have passed on
Even though I know less every year, my wonder at the world grows every year
It’s a trade off between knowledge and wonder
I think it’s called wisdom
