Knowing and Unknowing

knowing 
and unknowing 
are both my offspring
whom I am learning to
love for their unique 
gifts, recognizing who to 
sit with, when. 
each asking of
me very different things
and bringing to be 
varied abundance. 
Leaning into knowing
is simple, instinctive
so easy to parent, for
I have to only wipe off
the film of conditioning
and fade all other voices.
Learning from unknowing
is a tougher job
a re-parenting,
stretching my motherhood
expanding my nurturing
for this child is unruly, 
hurtful in the beginning
but as it grows with me 
we learn to be patient
with one another, 
and give each other
a sacred love, 
that unveils the secret of
space between us three 
that can feed us full
and fill the world
with our mysterious magic.
