There are times when things happen, or someone says something, and what I thought I understood runs aground and I have to get out and navigate the delta without maps nor stars.
I sometimes feel deficient in any abilities I am expected to have to understand what is expected of someone in my place.
And so I hop back into my skiff and pole off into the labyrinthine waters shrouded in mists with naught else but hope to see me through to the other side.
I think it’s like a tidal wave and we constantly dip from being secure in what we know to being certain that we know nothing and can offer nothing.
Is this a case of being overly analytic? Perhaps, but it could equally be blindness in others.
And let’s not mention self-doubt and its bedfellows!
As I get older, my confidence in understanding what is being said diminishes. I’ve probably always been possibly wrong, I’m just now aware of the possibility now.

I’m not convinced that anybody does!
Trust only your inner voice (and still be wary!)

I have all of self doubt’s bedfellows 🙂

That does sum up confusion. A singularity you can’t make heads or tails of. Where to go from there?

I agree. Well said.
Thank you Bob.
