The offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can__ give way, is an offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don__ know anything like enough yet; that I haven__ understood enough; that I can__ know enough; that I__ always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn__ have it any other way.
