my preferred position in all this is to say -
cause of itself - as in existence itself
is a concept - that really - properly points us to
the unknown
- to just what we don't know
and the fact of not knowing
and it is this which is the true object of knowledge
I mean here - it is in a sense - always before us
that we don't know
what we glean - or think we know -
is set against this ever present backdrop
it is the theatre on which - in which our knowledge plays
are performed
