Sometimes, we want to escape the known, and can't.

 

And that is an equally important aspect of the situation.

 

The situation being " imagined separation " which also is

" self " as a known being, a known knower of known things.

 

The imagined separate one, fears the unknown as something

in which unpredictable bad things could happen to it.

 

And, it fears the loss of itself, its experience, and what it

knows.

 

And, if there were no holding of any known,

then the unknown wouldn't even

be the unknown, would it?

 

To know there is the unknown, is something known,

is it not?
