When we exist solely in our place of knowing the world seems very secure.  It is nice and cozy until the unknown dashes some cold water on us. In some cases, the dash feels like a bucket dump of ice-cold water. On my daily dates with God, I have seen my openness to the dashes of unknown growth.  Over time as we learn to embrace the dashes of the unknown, we can cultivate a sense of security in being unknown.  Dashes can come into our experience in such a way that we revel in them.  By residing in our heart’s courageousness we have more strength to welcome in the dashes of the unknown with appreciation.  Curiosity becomes the lens through which we see the dashes of life’s unknown because we recognize it as love’s way of introducing us to another element of ourselves.  Grounding ourselves in the truth of who we are at our core, we know that the dashes of the unknown will not and cannot alter our knowledge of who we really are and who God knows us to be.  We can even seek out the dashes of the unknown because we desire to grow the power of love in our hearts for all of life. Any time we find ourselves drifting into a story that tells us the unknown dashes of life will disrupt the core of who we are we have lost sight of who God knows us to be.  All we have to do is pause, take a breath, connect to our hearts and see God readily holding the space not altered by the dashes of life unknown.
