Having being in the 1% where it was Worst Case Scenario, I have to tell you that it really is ok. At some point you wake up and the sky is cornflower blue, there is birdsong and a Cornflakes advert plays on the Tele. Life continues. This is why I love the signature I use here:
"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen."
~ D. H. Lawrence
We have a choice in how we respond. Uncertainty feels unbearable. The tension can feel awful and so we react to shuck it off. Anything feels better than nothing. Oftentimes though doing nothing is best. Sit with the feeling. Somatically track it. Cognitively soothe.
One of my favourite sayings is "this too shall pass." How wonderful it is to find your strength, softness and Grace in the eye of the storm. A decade into being a carer (caregiver) I find comfort in uncertainty. I am glad there is no fixed path, only choices made consciously and with love. There is something alchemical in this surety. Events and circumstance may be uncertain but you can be sure and supple and resilient. Realising this is a game-changing moment that puts most of the nonsense that frets and frays our nerves into perspective.
