The unknown both excites me and pisses me off.

I love threading my way down deer paths
tearing down walls to see what's over there
being the first to breach that landscape
and leave fresh footprints in new snow.

The little thrill of starting a new job again after 25 years.
The challenge to figure out if I can do it.

I do not love the unknowable nearly so much.
Wondering why the phone no longer rings
why the emails and texts go unanswered.

I love the unknown.
I hate not knowing.
