Freedom is the discord of oneness

Freedom is the unity of chaos

Freedom is the answerless question

Freedom is the mystery of being…

The mystery is inside us

The mystery is outside us

The mystery is within and beyond

The mystery is always just yonder…

This being

This thing called being

This experience of being

This act of being

This being

It is a delicate thing

A delicate confusion

A delicate marvel

A torment of hope

A true unknowing…

True innocence is knowing all

Yet life exists in the unknown…

To live is to be in conflict…

…Try to Explain the Moth to the Flame… is a collection of short descriptive writings by author Dave McKinnis, offering personal reflections upon the simple mysteries interwoven through the everyday experience of being.
