The unexpected

Life has a funny way of opening windows for
our minds to expand on the unknown.
Not always is it meant to scare us, but perhaps
awaken us.
We do not learn everything from a book, or a classroom.
We do not learn by making judgements solely on tangible evidence.
Only when you let go of everything you thought you knew
to be true, does truth step in.
Does it make itself known by boasting?
Does it force you to believe? to accept?
When experiencing life's little knocks on the door,
the person on the end of the telephone you were just thinking of,
The cold chill that flushes by you, when it's hot out.
Perhaps, these are merely timed messages
to teach us there is so much more that exists.
And depending on what you allow in, will define what
and where, when taken out....
