To gain knowledge
One must seek it
Beyond the known.

To gain knowledge
One must learn to wait
Rather than rush to arrive.

To gain knowledge
One must learn how to be
Free of the striving to become.

To gain knowledge
One must be willing
To let go of their assumptions.

To gain knowledge
One must be prepared to get rid of
That which thinks it knows.

To gain knowledge
One must create the space
For the new…for transformation.

To gain knowledge
One must learn to remain silent
When feeling compelled to speak.
