Masterpiece of the Unknown

Some say that the unknown is controlled by the cosmos.

And some say that the unknown is only unknown by us,

yet is however known,

by a spiritual being or higher power,

omniscient in reputation.

And to some,

the unknown is an abyss of possibilities,

of which presents itself to each and every future moment.

And while the unknown may bring stress and worry to some,

to others it brings wonder and imagination,

because an unknown future means infinite possibilities.

And for those right-minded people of the world,

an offer of infinate possibilities

becomes their blank canvas

for them to paint the masterpiece of their life upon.

..............................................

I'm not gonna lie, for myself personally, I would like to think that the unknown is non existent for an infinite, higher being. That everything that is happening in my life are all the strokes of his masterpiece, and unbeknownst to me, make a work of art that would leave Michelangelo in awe and wonder. And I think that I am given bits and pieces of knowledge here and there, as I need them, because my finite mind could not possibly comprehend the majesticness of the entirety of what will ultimately be the masterpiece of me. But what I am most excited for, is when the last stroke is performed, when I take a final breath, when I am presented with the knowledge of the unknown, and I can see the masterpiece in its entirety. What a beautiful day that will be..
