By grasping my ignorance I am able to see far beyond what my eyes reveal, conceiving of illimitable potentials the material world may conceal. Should I undertake faith in this or that conception, I should reduce my sight far beyond what my eyes do.

If I have faith in anything, it is my own relative insignificance and incapacity. In this I have not been mistaken. When we know we don't know, we are able to learn what is revealed. When we falsely know we know, we cement our ignorance around our intellectual feet, even as we plunge into the ocean of wonder that surrounds us.

Merry Christmas!
