Possibly, my Friend,
I need not to pray to know you more,
but to know you less.
For the more I have known you,
the less I have known you,
while the less I have known you,
I have known you more.
So, I pray that You take away all my knowing of you,
that I may both know and love you more.
Some old men went to visit the Abbot Anthony of Egypt. Abbot Anthony was the most renowned hermit of his day~b. 251. Abbot Joseph was present among them. The aged Abbot Anthony, wanting to test the visitors, recommended a Scripture text. Beginning with the youngest, he asked each one what it meant. Each gave the best opinion he could offer. Abbot Anthony replied to each one: "You have not understand it." Then, he asked Abbot Joseph: "How would you explain this saying?" Abbot Joseph replied: "I do not know." Abbot Anthony said: "Indeed, Abbot Joseph has found the way, for he has said, 'I do not know.'"
