THE UNKNOWN

"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~

We claim not to like the unknown,
But if we're honest with ourselves and consider it truly,
I think we will find it's actually quite enjoyable.
If we don't know how something will play out,
We can imagine it going any way we desire,
Any way that pleases us to imagine.
Once it's done, once it's known, there's no more imagining,
There's only the dealing with whatever has happened,
And even if it's rough, or tough, or tragic, there's still fun possible
In the unknown of that.
The game then becomes, what are we going to do now?

Mystery is a delightful form of play.
