In the mailbox this morning...

Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself? – Lao-tzu

...when we are clear and sure about what we are doing, we are less open to the many other possibilities available. But when we let ourselves hang out in the space of not-knowing, there is enormous potential and life could unfold in innumerable ways. So rather than avoid and fear this place of uncertainty, we can embrace it and all its gifts. – Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity, cited by Kaira Jewel Lingo in Tricycle, “Trusting the Unknown,” Spring 2022.
