about

A RIVER IN THE DARK

We are forever bound to the forward nature of time. The most mystifying part of life is that we never know what will happen next. A curtain of darkness lies just at the edge of the present moment. Despite our best attempts to peer ahead by making life as rational and organized as possible, we cannot eliminate or even contain uncertainty.

Much of the time, the unknowing feeds our anxiety. Even so, if we truly knew what lay up ahead, if life was reduced to a single possibility, it would lose its most enchanting quality: that of the adventure. Our lives are filled with the suspense and drama of all great stories. For each moment is one of exploration and discovery.

If we approach life with the daring of pioneers and explorers, the unpredictability of life becomes a source of singular excitement. And as importantly, we align ourselves with the truth: that we are wandering down a river in the dark.
