\nWe greatly misunderstand ourselves and other people when we take ourselves to be 'fixed', just \u2018one-way\u2019. However stuck we've become, there is something of us that is always changing, and even when we can't see it there's always the seed of change waiting for the right moment to burst forth.
\n
\nSo how do we learn to trust that in ourselves and others that is life's never ceasing unfolding into itself? How do we undo the rigid stories and judgments that increase the distance between us? And how do we take up an understanding about ourselves and other people that allow us to be faithful to, as our dear friend Rosemerry writes, 'uncertainty as a sacred path'?\xa0

\nHere\u2019s our source for this week:
\n
\nNever the Same
\n
\nSometimes a person wakes
\nbelieving they are a storm.
\nIt\u2019s hard to deny it, what,
\nwith all the rain pouring out
\nof the gutters of the mind,
\nall the gusts blowing through,
\nall the squalls, all the gray.
\nBut by afternoon, it seems obvious
\nthey are a garden about to sprout.
\nBy night, it is clear they are a moon\u2014
\nluminous, radiant, faithful.
\nThat\u2019s the danger, I suppose,
\nof believing any frame.
\nLet me believe, then, in curiosity,
\nin wonder, in change.
\nLet me trust how essential it is
\nto stumble into the trough
\nof the unknown, marvel how
\ntrough becomes wings becomes
\nfaith becomes math. Let me trust
\nuncertainty is a sacred path.
