Circle Of Doubt
by Leland Waldrip → (All Poetry by Leland Waldrip)

Most circles are subject to improvement — though they may appear perfect. This is the heart of the principle of scientific method, the engine of knowledge advancement. Doubt even applies to the scientific method itself. Should doubt and inquiry reveal a flaw in any principle, knowledge is advanced and a correction adopted. This stands in stark contrast to knowledge by revelation, or by fiat.

Circle of Doubt


 


sure knowledge begs ill,


certainty does not inquire


but doubt sows wise seed


 


would wisdom gather


without momentum of doubt?


none should say for sure


 


so we embrace doubt


prioritize suspicions


of imperfection


 


use circular key


to wisdom’s fair, worthy grace:


—> doubt —> inquire —> knowledge — >


<——————————————————

Very cleverly done. And you're awfully right. Good write.

Yet, by fiat spark both cognition and doubt, one being as entwined with the other as genesis with chaos itself. Then, the spiral of thought enquires and processes in a continuum of alternate darkness and light, that grows both into wisdom... and its essence - the notion that we never know it all. Ah, my friend... what spirals your poems provoke in my thoughts!
Blessings in continuum,
~Alexandra~

This is an especially wise write, Leland. If more people applied this to the pulpit and went to their Bible for self, God wouldn't be so maligned. ~~Bonnie Q

I especially like this:
"would wisdom gather
without momentum of doubt?
none should say for sure"

Simply profound. Profoundly simple.
Good work, Leland.

I wish you and yours blessings both large and small this Holiday Season!
