The dance of uncertainty.
Today' daily inspiration quote on Deepak Chopra's Spiritual Center website made me smile. Here it is:
"Of what is the body made? It is made of emptiness and rhythm. At the ultimate heart of the body, at the heart of the world, there is no solidity . . .there is only the dance."
-- George Leonard
I particularly like this quote because so often we as humans try to control everything and look for answers. We try to make everything solid and defined. But to just let go and trust that the answer is that there are no answers but to live in each moment and let each moment define our lives, certain or uncertain, is trusting in the beautiful dance of life.
I am still learning how to do this. There are times I think I "slip" and don't trust my life and the moment....I want to move on to the next moment and transform into something in my dreams, not based on reality. That's escaping and I still often wish to escape the current moment into something more comfortable. But I'm learning how to be comfortable in those moments that seem scary. It's like a rough rock that gets smoothed over by the currents....the rough moments will get soothed as well with open effort and patience.
