Do You Really Know?

You know that thing where you know exactly what you should be doing, what is right, yet you fall short in action?

You know the way, but stumble at going the way. You give Stella advice, but you would do so much better if you took your own advice.

You should know better, but really you do not. From the layers of your lips there is knowledge, but beyond your lips nothing.

Then you do not know.

There are levels to this thing called knowing. Hearing is not knowing, learning is not knowing, knowing is not knowing. It takes being and doing to actually know. Emphasis on being.

I read somewhere that if you are sure of something then you will practice it.

In other words, when you know a thing you do not just say it, you live it.

Dearest reader, the insight you share, do you really know it, have you truly learned it, or are you just quoting something whose depth you do not understand?

When you say "it is well," are you saying it because you understand and believe it, or are you just repeating what you have heard someone else say?

Not knowing leads to a circle of saying things we do not know, meaning things we did not say, and miraculously expecting results we do not deserve.
