Thanks, sasha_khan for posting this on dailyrumi. I needed some reassurance that it is completely and blessedly human to not have mastered ANYTHING. (and wow, doesn't the editing phase of writing just STING!)

If you wish your misery to end,
seek also to lose your wisdom-
the wisdom born of human illusion,
that which lacks the light
of God's overflowing grace.
The wisdom of this world increases doubt;
the wisdom of Faith releases you into the sky.
