Uncertainty
collage, 6 x 6 inches
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some
poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning,
middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the
moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to
happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”

“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have
answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible
beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but
I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't
know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're
here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not
knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any
purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.”

Hi Sharmon this is the second post I have read in the last 24 hours about the beauty of Uncertainty
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to Cindy Handstories "Uncertainty of Ships"
http://handstories.typepad.com/blog/2015/06/an-uncertainty-of-ships.html
as my old friend Pete (plant shaman extraordinaire who moved to Brazil to save the rainforest back in the 70's and is still there) said so long ago-
"Spirit likes to see us dance on the shifting sands of change"
Thanks for the link, Mo. I love Pete's quote; so true!
DeleteLovely collage, and I love the quotes and totally agree. xoxo

ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly, and good luck resolving your uncertainty, whatever it's about.
ReplyDeleteOf one thing I'm certain:
ReplyDelete"There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore."
You're certainly right about that, Ken!

You're right, it is good wisdom, because nothing is certain, whether we realize it or not. Thanks for the kind comment. xox
