The Unknown
to some
The Unknown
feels like the freaking boogie man.
the dark expanse
that lies ahead.
the thing we can’t put a face on
or
a form to.
it’s just there
waiting for us.
The Unknown.
how do we navigate it?!
how do we understand it?
how do we not fear it?
i’ve always seen pretty much everything
as The Unknown.
understanding that anything can happen
at any time.
maybe The Unknown fear-ers
could benefit from an injection
of Acceptance? or Trust?
why is is scary to NOT know?
in the not knowing
there is possibility
potential
newness.
why i am exempt from this fear of The Unknown?
is it because i can see what goes bump in the night?
or
is it that change excites me?
or
that i am just comfortable not knowing.
maybe it has something to do with
how much i enjoy learning new things.
not just something i read in an article>
i like learning big things:
a new instrument.
a new language.
a new sport or hobby.
something that requires different ‘muscles’
than the ones i currently use.
The Unknown.
this has been THE hot topic with those around me lately.
maybe it affects planner types and those of us who spend time
outside of this Now?
not really navigating The Moment.
i think about it.
if my whole life came crashing down
what would i do?
i don’t know.
tho i know i would know
if i found myself there.
i trust my intuition
my instincts
and know
that whatever situation i find myself in
will contain with in it
an answer
a direction
or
a pause.
i will listen.
maybe it means that my Trust muscles are strong?
maybe it means that i believe my life isn’t out to get me?
and
i trust in my own process and unfolding.
much to ponder
in the area of The Unknown.
do YOU fear it?
why?
what’s the worst that could happen?
can you personify The Unknown
and
give it a big smiley face?
a big smiley face with open arms and a warm hug?
if you are one of the many
who fear The Unknown
practice changing your relationship to it.
maybe you could be friends instead?
best pals is even cooler.
maybe even Love could enter the relationship.
along with some Trust.
feel better?
practice practice.
The Unknown is only scary
if you allow it to be.
sending you a pinch of the ‘something’
that i have
that helps me Love The Unknown.
