Meditation on Uncertainty #1
Certainty is a comfort
It lets our personal train of thought
glide easily into the station to relax with the others.
Uncertainty keeps our mind engaged,
keeps us moving along the tracks and not because we decided to.
Keeps us in Not-Knowing whether we like it or not
There is always some Uncertainty, we know
But sometimes Rogue Waves of Disruption
rise and then break much harder and way further inland than usual,
they blow away our tidy little routines
like sand castles on the beach before the tide coming in,
only faster
That’s when we can feel the most clearly how much we crave Knowing
or the illusion that our daily routines will definitely happen tomorrow
because they did today, forgetting it was always just Probable,
and because we’re usually right today about predicting tomorrow,
and also we’d like to stop Not-Knowing and relax
When Uncertainty overwhelms everyday routines,
we can Appreciate Uncertainty the most,
