The Unknown

The known future slithers along just out of visual range. No matter how much it is chased, it is always faster than the chaser. It never tires of toying as it covertly moves through the thick underbrush of dread. The dreaded unknown rises to be seen clothed in religion and fear as explanations and information are sought to stop the chaos of a seeking mind that has nothing solid to seize.
Current times are bulging with the unknown, so much that many are ready to detonate. Clearing meadows of change and transformation tease as the wriggling beast is sighted. Then, it’s back in the underbrush again. What hides under the bushes? Is there a tall, sheer cliff from which to tumble, or is there a mountain of wishes and dreams treasure waiting to be scooped up and hunkered away under coat?
Back room trust evades as it ekes in and out of reality. Trust, the notion that sets aside fear of that which cannot be controlled. Trust: not for the timid or weak of mind, but only for those willing to risk it’s inclusion and occupation of sanity.

The following are quotes that include the word unknown and are available through thinkexist.com.

“History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help.” Robert Heinlein.

“Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.” Unknown. :D

“The more everybody lives, the more life reveals to him; what was unknown becomes known.” Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy.
