Sticking with Uncertainty

“Ordinarily we are swept away by habitual momentum. We don’t interrupt our patterns even slightly. With practice, however, we learn to stay with a broken heart, with a nameless fear, with a desire for revenge. Sticking with uncertainty is how we learn to relax in the midst of chaos, how we learn to be cool when the ground beneath us disappears. We can bring ourselves back to the path countless times every day simply by exercising our willingness to rest in the uncertainty of the present moment----over and over again”
