To Understand Is To Over Stand

[mwords]

It happens when you look at something from a number of angles.

It’s the inside,outside, and downside dismantled.

You’ll find it comes channelled-- the beginnings, endings and dialogues scrambled.

Then ironed out and untangled.

It’s understanding -- wrangled and enameled; sometimes arrived at through struggle.

But what is it really -- this understanding? It’s bits and pieces that feel like puzzles.

Is it to go down and under? To be befuddled? To be less knowledgeable, not loud -- mumbled?

Or is it to know the ins- and-outs without a doubt? Not soft, but loud.

It’s knowing the inner and outer, not under but over.

Understanding is not clouded. Just the opposite -- clear and grounded.

The seeds of what’s been planted and plotted.

Indeed, understanding is over standing endowed with explanations -- unbounded.
