Befriending the Unknown
"I have arrived; I am home."
-Thich Nhat Hanh
Home is not a location. Home is a mindset. It is an embrace, and it is a capacity. It’s a capacity to be home wherever you are, wherever you find yourself, and for sure in the unknown. I can be at home in the unknown. I don’t have to have all the answers in the unknown. I don’t have to rush past the unknown. I can be a friend to the unknown. And what a tremendous relief. When was the last time you allowed yourself to rest in the unknown and to befriend it?
Many of us have been programmed to respond and react to the unknown. So, when we think about this within ourselves, what is my relationship to the unknown? How do I normally respond when I don’t have the answers, when I have to wait, when I don’t have the healing yet, when I don’t have the finances yet, when I don’t know the way yet, the how, the when, the who, the where, the what? There are just so many ways that the unknown can meet us.
The unknown, the liminal spaces that we travel through, are bridges. They take us from where we are, where we maybe had more answers, into where we don’t know, and then eventually across the threshold back to knowing again.
And that is where we are invited to trust and lean into this new relationship we desire to embrace with it. This is where you drop into your mysticism, the mysticism of your life, knowing you were divinely carried through it and made it out. You survived everything. The unknown was at work holding you and guiding you after all.

Remember who you have already been in the unknown and who you already had to be to get through the unknown parts of your journey. And then, when you find yourself in the unknown, make a conscious choice to say, “I choose to be grounded in my power, and even more so. “I am arriving back to my true home, my true power, and an expanded timeline.”
This declaration relocates us. It means we are stable within ourselves. We are no longer holding on to anything so tightly that it constricts divine flow or blocks divine alignment from reaching us. We’re learning to release in order to receive.
The unknown asks us to deepen our listening, trust, and inner sensing of what it is ready to reveal to us and what it asks us to embrace. This is how the transition into “the known” comes about. I often experience it as trusting and nurturing the tiny seeds that are often tempting to overlook. Divinely, there are always revelations and support along the way. This too is how the unknown is a friend to us.
Invite mindfulness to sustain you in the unknown. What are the energetics to embrace here, in this liminal space? What things bring you joy in the present moment? What helps you stay grounded and nurtured and capable in the present moment? Do more of these things that help you vibrate higher, because our vibrational well-being is everything.
Also, be open to what no longer works or that simply doesn’t work here for this temporary season and its process. Allow yourself to explore and discover the medicine for this season you are in, for this time, for this bridge you are going over. What is the medicine now? What does support look like here?
And it may not be the medicine you continue needing once you’re over the bridge. But embrace whatever that is while it is indeed the necessary medicine in the present moment.
Maybe certain choices, relationships, habits, projects, or routine duties need to be put on pause for now. Maybe positive past habits or forgotten wisdom resurface and strengthen you during this time. Maybe this is a time when gifts you have not tapped in a very long while come back in again. Befriending the unknown is about opening ourselves up to the divine alignment that is at work and spiritually moving in it all.
May you breathe with deep understanding that discernment and uncertainty can coexist. You can be wise in the uncertainty. It’s important to allow yourself to coexist between the timelines.
And taking meaningful, aligned action is so vital and essential. What are the things in the unknown that you’re being asked to do? How are you being asked to show up in this moment? What are you still afraid of here? What have you not been doing that you now feel more ready and guided to do?
Do what you can to be aligned, and then leave the rest up to the Divine. You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Our job in the unknown is to receive, as an open vessel and channel, the insights, answers, upgrades, gifts, and the new possibilities that will eventually come through our openness. This is expansion work that also includes grace work. So journey in grace through the unknown.
The unknown is where the transformation happens. It’s where the alchemy happens. It’s where the spiritual work happens. And it only seems unknown because we can’t see it physically. As spirit beings, may we trust what is happening. May we trust the alignment, the timing, our power, and what is necessary to carry us through the unknown.
That’s how we become a friend to the unknown.
