A horizon is a metaphor for where the known and unknown meet…
The known and the unknown are divided in the same way as the horizon divides the landscape: it is only the viewpoint that creates the boundary or the distinction...
What we see as being within our horizon is our home, where we belong, where we operate safely, and know what to expect - geographically or conceptually. Beyond the horizon lies the unknown which may attract us with its potential for solutions to our problems, bright diversions to our boredom, or maybe solace to our pain; but also fear of these changes, uncertainty as to our ability to weather them, and mourning for the loss of home.
- Colyn Brydon (From Horizons as Metaphor)
