It is humbling when we realize the depth of our lack of knowledge about everything.  We pride ourselves on knowing things.  We even have things we know we don’t know.  What sneaks up on us are the things we don’t know that we don’t know.  Even saying it one can get tongue twisted.  Our sense of reality are fragments of what is actually in existence.  It is not possible to see things from all angles.  We do not even see all the angles of a person physically when we are talking with them face to face.  Someone coming up behind us only sees one side of us and can mistake us for someone else.  None of this is good or bad, it is all about what we do with it.  Our hearts call on us to humbly accept the fragments we are exposed to in our lives and admit there may be more going on than we realize.  If we are willing to cop to the fragmented reality we are in, we can open ourselves up to wholeness.  Acknowledging the fragments and accepting our limitations as beings in a physical world allows us to know what we have to work with and where we can work with each other to fill in the gaps.  Maybe there is a reason why eyewitness accounts tell very different stories about the same event.  Maybe there is a reason why our friends and enemies do not agree with everything we think, feel, or claim to know.  Being in relationship, as our hearts invite us to do with ourselves and others with each breath of light, brings about the wholeness we crave from the deepest part of who we are.  Maybe we can let down our fragments long enough to look at or listen to someone else’s and help each other fill in the missing pieces.
