Staircase not a Star Case

half understandings lead to full deceptions

Insofar as our insights are muddled or apparition-like, we are better off in pitch black with pure imagination than in letting our senses delegate truth to us in the half-light.

Such a slippery slope: from “I think I saw that,” to “I saw that,” to “I know that because I saw that.”

Am I just building a tower of provisional answers? Well, better to remain on the ground floor in that case, asking up, in awe and reverence, rather than building out my energy only to eventually ask the same question from a slightly higher vantage, but now too worn down to even approach the matter with the infinite curiosity the infinite deserves.
