Bliss

They say ignorance is bliss, and maybe thats true. There is this moment right before you you find out life-altering news... in that moment--whether or not you have a hint of whats coming--there is a certain security in not knowing; Even though that seems like backward logic. But once you know something, you can't un-know something... and even if it is better in the long run, to know... I have often found myself wishing for that unplanned, uncomplicated moment right before I knew for sure. At the time I didn't feel it-- but in retrospect, when that untouchable moment of ignorance seems so faraway, it also seems so... blissful. sigh.
