Welcome to A Love Affair with the Unknown
Let’s start A Love Affair
Economic anxiety, political upheaval, looming health threats, technological shifts… modern life is full of uncertainty.
What if we could change our relationship with the unknown and unknowable?
What if we could take comfort in feeling unsure and cherish the opportunity that a liminal state offers?
What possibilities does uncertainty cough up?
What can we learn about how to live at ease in a turbulent world?
If you’re curious to see the possibility baked into the unpredictable, this might help spark a new relationship with uncertainty.
Nothing clandestine going on here, this affair is for everyone. Don’t keep this Love Affair a secret, share it with your friends! Let’s build a community and forge a path through the unknown together.
