A Dance with the Unknown

Every child knows the thrill of peeking behind a door, wondering what lies on the other side. For some, that fascination with the unknown never fades – it evolves.

But what began as excited whispers of "what if?" childhood games transformed into anxious murmurs in adult life. I built walls of plans and predictions, believing I could contain uncertainty within neat boxes of probability and risk assessment. For a while, it worked. Or so I thought.

The first visit came without warning. Like an uninvited guest, it slipped through the cracks of my carefully ordered world – not once, but again and again. Each time, it wore a different mask: uncertainty, disruption, surprise. Each time, it tested the boundaries of how I thought things "should be". I believed I had grown familiar with its presence until the day when uncertainty didn't politely knock – it burst through every carefully constructed barrier, leaving me suspended in a void of "I don't know." The same mystery that once made my heart race with excitement now made it race with fear.

It was then, free-falling through this void, that a new conclusion emerged: Turns out I was never the host. I was the guest all along. And an old door was opened again: What if uncertainty wasn't an intruder in my well-ordered life? What if it was the canvas upon which my life had always been painted? Every meaningful moment, every pivotal decision, every unexpected joy – they all bloomed from seeds of not-knowing what will happen.

Looking back at my life's stories, each intimate chapter contains an unexpected moment where the unknown had always been present – a patient teacher, a silent partner – calling me to play a game with life. Now I see uncertainty's fingerprints everywhere, not as a villain to be defeated, but as life's most honest storyteller, whispering the same truth since childhood: the best chapters are the ones we couldn't predict.

So I started writing letters.

Letters to the Unknown

Each letter attempts to capture the moments that connect us through our most fundamental human experience – facing uncertainty. Through these letters, I explore how we might re-tell our stories, with the Unknown as our silent companion and play partner, seeing how life's uncertainties can be leveraged as doorways to transformation.
Together, we learn to meet the unexpected with curiosity, find rhythm in chaos, and embrace the unmarked paths that lead to insight and meaning.

At unexpected moments throughout this journey, each letter will receive its own response – a unique dialogue with the Unknown that creates an echo, extending our exploration and offering new depths of understanding.

While these letters won't offer you a ready-made solution for facing the unknown (nothing will), they share a human experience familiar to us all - that moment of chaos we often only recognize once we've emerged from it. When you stand at the threshold of the unknown - which will arrive as surely as you were born - you might find here a way to face it with courage and style. By maintaining your dignity, by approaching it playfully and artfully, you can transform these encounters. As you pass through and build a new sense of order, both you and the universe will gain something more, will earn something more. And that something - can be beautiful.

Your first letter awaits.
