“It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand…”
Søren Kierkegaard
We are a culture that does not want to admit or even think we don’t understand. I’m becoming much more comfortable with setting aside my pride and say, “I don’t understand.” And there are those moments when I must pause and question myself “…what if what I think I think I know, ain’t so.” Then go for a meditative walk with my camera and just take pictures.

I believe “The Serenity Prayer” fits here except exchange the word “understand” for “change.” I can’t comprehend, understand or even be aware of some things, and I have to accept and find peace with that, even if it irritates the heck out of me. 🙂
What lovely color, light and reflections in this photo, Monte. Nice!

And, sometimes it can be quite irritating! 😊

Sigh. I have enough trouble knowing what I don’t understand. I can’t worry about not knowing what I don’t understand. Beautiful sunset, I know that much.

Worry never has helped in my life. The key is to knowing is knowing when we don’t know. I think. Have a great day tomorrow!
