Deepening Our Comfort With Uncertainty
"In our daily lives, there are endless forms of uncertainty far more
things we cannot know than know. Objectively, this could be cause for
great delight, wonder, and surrender. We could be relieved and
appreciative that we do not have to perpetually hold onto the steering
wheel, captain the ship, drive our lives. There is much to discover that
can surprise us, so much to which we can gratefully yield, so much
permission to let go of our need to know or control what will happen.
And yet when we experience the presence of true uncertainty in our
lives, it can be rattling. It goes against the conditioning most of us
have internalized that not knowing is threatening that it must be
hidden or overridden, solved or resolved, as quickly as possible."
Kristi Nelson shares more in this piece that resonates richly with our
times.
