If You Only Knew ...

Dumbledore and Harry Potter at a tribunal in the Ministry of Magic, a scene from a TV broadcast of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

If you only knew what you won't know until it's too late, I wouldn't have to fail at saying what cannot be said. There is damn good reason it's called "the Razor's Edge." There is damn good reason it's described as a "bridge of hair across a chasm of fire."

Maybe you imagine that you now know what I'm talking about. Maybe you're half right. But it is the other half that will astonish you. For better and worse.

Ecstasy heals hidden wounds. Revelation illuminates the inner wilderness. But there will be new wounds, and new wildernesses, and they will challenge you in ways you will not be able to anticipate.

If you only knew what you won't know until it's too late, I wouldn't have to fail at saying what cannot be said. But it's the price we all pay for journeying on this pathless path, and it is worth every ruby drop we shed along the way. There is damn good reason it has been called "the Razor's Edge." There is damn good reason it has been described as a "bridge of hair across a chasm of fire."

For better and worse. You have been warned.

Jaya Jagatambe Hey Maa Durga Jaya Jagatambe Jagatambe Maa Durga ...
