We know so very little.

Allowing oneself to see that,

to really see that, is humbling.

Such humility is the cost of admission

at the door to true wisdom.


For anyone who has a strong intellect,

this is very hard to do.

For anyone for whom everything is invested

in thinking they know

what it all means,

this door is too narrow

to get through -

harder

than pushing a camel

through the eye of a needle.


- Eric Allen Bell
