Throughout history, we've feared the unknown, what's beyond the horizon was taboo. And yet, curiosity led the way past castle walls, into that phantom zone, "where there be dragons," waiting to eat you; maps say. We've scaled the precipice of the unknown; though fear tried to take that moment away. But life doesn't stagnate nor stand in a queue; new possibilities form a milestone each day.

The unknown has always baffled man and he has always kept a distance from it. But some probe into the unknown and have come up with wonderful discoveries as they know that there are unlimited possibilities in everything. Profound thoughts.

This is an outstanding piece, Emile, which should rise to the very top in Edward's contest. I always marvel at your lines, like "But life's not a line, you're not in a queue,"! Well into "Navigating the Backwaters of My Mind," now.
