Not Knowing What Next

Not Knowing What Next 

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap on the dark
                                                                                      Agnes de Mille

Over and over again I am confronted with how the so-called securities I hold limit my life. I try to keep Socrates’ adage “The only thing I know is that I know nothing” in mind, but far too often old habits kick in and bring me back to my prejudices (positive or negative) about this or that, about him or her.
Today’s quote is meant as a reminder to step out into the groundlessness of not knowing and trying to see the world with fresh eyes. Who wants to “die a little” within a circle of rigidly held views…?
As you step out in your day, try to open your eyes and mind to what is next, without your habitual views and opinions. Life will reward you by showing you its true face - as well as your own.
