Feeling of Knowing

To have the feeling of

“Knowing”

Is so precious, rare, and often

Seems more ephemeral than not

Being able to get to

A place where you

Just know:

The right choice

The right thing to say

The right thing to do

The right outcome

The right move

The right job

The right person

The right gift

The right anything

Seems like a colossal leap at times

I think many of us

Would pay money

To access the

"I know, I know"

State of mind 

My experience is that

I'll feel like I don't know

For a really loooong period of time

And then all of a sudden

I"ll know

The agony of not knowing

Is completely erased

By the sudden realization

That I know

Writing this makes me

Think of all my friends whom

Have been experiencing childbirth

And feel long-term despair,

Which is magically forgotten once

Their child is born

There you go,

I just reduced childbearing and childbirth

To a feeling of not knowing and knowing

Ha
