The Future Is Unknowable

This passage on not knowing the future makes me think about how I live my life. There is certainty about uncertainty. This is a paradoxical truth. There are a few certain things I know and I feel sure of such things. However, a large portion of my living is in the uncertainty zone of my life. A great challenge that I face in my life is how to live with uncertainty. Living with uncertainty drains my energy and I get exhausted. Growing up in the twilight zone, the zone of light and darkness has taught me how to walk on the Middle Path without resistance. Accept what I can and do not employ my energy in combating what I can't and know the difference, and have the courage to change. This serenity prayer helps me walk on the right path, the path of living a balanced life. Nothing in the world we live in remains the same. Seasons change. Life changes. Body changes. Mind changes. Heart changes. Fortune changes. Change is constant. Awareness of such changes and accepting them gracefully has been very helpful to me in the journey of my life. Namaste! Jagdish P Dave.
