It is said that too much curiosity killed the cat.
That in search for truth,
perhaps we cannot handle it.
perhaps we were never created to.
I used to think it a blessing
to be in
rather than out.
If I knew
touched
tasted
digested
it all
I’d be full.
Full of answers
Full of knowing
Full of life.
Full of certainty.
And I am full.
But not of the right stuff.
I’m full to the brim
with the sad reality that lies are lies
Hype is hype
and all is not as it appears.
You can’t undo a knowing either.
It’s like giving your virginity to your boyfriend
in the back seat of his car in a moment of passion
only to want it back tomorrow.
It simply is impossible.
The wizard was right you know.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
He’ll fail you every time.
Come on Toto
This isn’t Kansas
I’m not Dorothy
and not everything is meant for our knowing.
Save some magic for tomorrow.
And Leave the curtain be.

Great answer. We aren’t created to know everything – This premise goes all the way back to the garden really – Eve was tempted to eat from the tree of knowledge – she wanted to “be like God.” – We were never created to be that or to withstand the pressure that comes with it. Besides that, if we knew everything in store for us, would we really follow Christ? – I’m not so sure.

If we had all of the answers, how much faith would it take to believe in our Holy Lord God?
