The Extent of One’s Ignorance
Inspired by the words of Confucius

True wisdom whispers, soft and still,
Beyond the noise of prideful will.
It speaks not loud, nor claims to know,
But humbly learns as rivers flow.

The mind that thinks it knows it all
Has built too high and soon will fall;
But hearts that kneel to seek, to learn,
Find light in every small return.

For knowledge grows where questions bloom,
Not in the pride that seals one’s doom.
To know the bounds of what we see
Is the start of true humility.

So bow before the vast unknown,
Where truth and mystery are sown;
For wisdom’s first and finest art
Is knowing how small we truly are.

Pro 11:2  When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. 

For God’s Honor and Glory
