Knowing and Question - A Common Interaction
Knowing and Question - A Common Interaction
Knowing crept up slowly behind without notice and asked "What comes next?"
Question responded eagerly, "You know this one, think about it".
Knowing waited a minute and asked once again, this time with an ounce of frustration.
Question responded "Do you need me to tell you, really?"
Knowing thought once again, this time for just a minute longer and yelled ever so loudly, "Why won't you tell me? I'm all Knowing, and I know you know the answers. I need you to help me."
Question listened, paused for a moment, and then spoke quickly, "If you know everything Knowing, then why ask me? Why ask Question?"
Silence offered a period of reflection for both Knowing and Question.
Finally, Knowing commented "You are right indeed Question. I AM all knowing. I knew. The answer is clear. What comes next is to Question so that I feel fulfilled and complete. Now I can rest."
Question laughed, "You knew only because you listened, and asked. You were not afraid of me. You will stay all knowing because of me. Never stop asking. You surely don't want to lose yourself."
Question faded into the background, and Knowing stepped forward confident in all that would come next.
And then, Contemplation stepped into the room.
