The Unknown

March 4

I am thankful for the unknown. I know that is a scary thought. But if we knew everything, if we knew our future, wouldn't life be boring. Life and the unknown can bering about the most fantastic surprises.  A couple of quotes I found on the matter are:

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
Corrie ten Boom

The photo is my representation of the unknown. It was taken on University Lake in Baton Rouge while these ducks swam into the fog and into "the unknown."

unkown

you say you are afraid

of an unknown future

that i do understand

but if the future

was in our hand

and tied up

wrapped up

and sutured

and we knew all

everything that passed

would be no different

than reviewing the past

but instead we get

unknown

un-sewn

god’s blessedness

and the possibilities

endless.
