61. Trusting the Unknown

It is humbling to reflect on the immense potential of human capacity, being revealed by the ongoing innovative technologies and inventions.  There appears to be vast innate intelligence that exists within us.  It occurs to me, that even if all of our collective learned knowledge were pulled together, it would still remain as the tiniest tip of the proverbial iceberg! It seems to be a case of what we don’t know … we really don’t know.

In my early years, I had experienced the world with full eye-sight. This had allowed me to enjoy the technicolour imagery of the endless beauty and variety of nature. However, now that the window of my vision has shrunk to the size of a pin-hole, does it mean that the rest of the visual world has disappeared too? Instead, all my other senses have stepped up and sharpened, enabling a different kind of engagement with the same material world.  This is a reminder that when I learn to trust in what I cannot see physically, I know it is still there. Understanding this truth gives weight to the potential, that there is a master plan that we are unaware of, which exists for each of our life’s journey.

When all our preconceptions and judgements are peeled back, would it reveal our core nature as a pure and child-like joyful being? Undoubtedly, that is how we came into this world, innocent and expecting nurturing love and laughter, filled with curiosity that allowed us to learn through play. This trust in the unknown would have been our birth-right and supreme guide. Perhaps by regaining this enhanced intuition, we could engage with a life that reveals a kinder humanity in the year ahead.
