a writer friend of mine wrote that "the older he gets, the more he travels, the less he knows." i understand what he meant now.it seems the more places i see and experience, the bigger i realize the world to be. the more that i become aware of, the more i realize how relatively little i know of it. how many places i still have to go, how much more of it there is still to learn.maybe that's enlightenment enough. to know that there is no final resting place of the mind. no moment of smug clarity. perhaps wisdom, such that it is, for me, means realizing how small i am, and unwise, and how far i have yet to go.
