Letters To Myself
Curtis Martin

When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see the objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be turned on, and immediately all worry and confusion disappears. Every object is seen, and there is no danger of being hurt.
To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts—their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains—are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is turned on in the room of darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved and all things are seen in their true place and proportion. Henceforth, the man walks open-eyed and unhurt.
Lesson: What you don't know will hurt you!

this is the foundation of my marriage. try as i might to explain it to people their fear gets in the way of reason.
'what's exposed is done away with."
That's real spit. Personally, I feel that I realized this when I was about 22, but it's really a lifelong process.
Meditate. Pray. Meditate. Read. Listen. Breathe.
Looks like Curtis has a second career. Too bad the media doesn't ever sensationalize a Black athlete that can think. Tiki notwithstanding.
