Lovely, Troosha .. I'm sure there are more than a few people I could say this to:
"Stable and steady
highly over-rated
for the curve of unknowing
is far more exciting
than the straight line of certainty" - but not on a permanent basis .. (smiles)

Thought-provoking and stuff that revolutionaries are made of- ever searching and ever inquisitive and challenging their limits! Great idea, great execution as well!

Clever - really I have never thought of comparing the curve and the straight line. All these things are in the mind
and you put it in a nice poem. Chuck.

Oh, how come Troosha, we both did a Francis Bacon the same time? " ... for the curve of unknowing is far more exciting than the straight line of certainty." Tell me where do you find those excellently apt pics
?

We're never so certain as we are at seventeen...
as for the ending in doubts ... were truer words ever spoken? I like what you did with this inspiration, your poem has a lacelike quality about it.

I really like this! When we start off with an assertion we kill the discussion before it gets going. However when we start off with a doubt and a question then perhaps we get somewhere. Thanks for sharing Troosha!

To have all knowledge would be a sin ~ I like the thrill of learning...By far Troosha, okay, well maybe, but probably; this is soo awesome in depth, that it is
along with my favorites of yours.

such a painfully true poem! I find myself in this dilemma sometimes. I am strong-headed, and sometimes find myself starting with those certainties and ending with doubts! Great write.
