Awareness of uncertainty

an excerpt from Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With, by Doris Wedige

Reflections on doubt...
So what is it that creates doubt?  To doubt we had to have a belief of what was right.  Doubt is the uncertainty that comes when there is a stirring within ourselves that loosens the grips of what we have believed to be true.
How many rules have we learned in our lifetime about what we should believe, how we should behave, or how we should look?  We are taught so many rules by people who intend to help us to be good.  But what happens when someone decides to change a rule?  That creates so much uncertainty, so much doubt.  Gosh, then we must have been wrong before.  Therefore we weren’t good.  Right or wrong.  Good or bad.  So many rules to keep us on the right path.
I yearn to evolve.  Evolution needs the openness to change.  To just be.  I yearn to let go of the rules.  I yearn to be accepting of how I am in any given moment without a doubt that I am right or wrong, good or bad.  I yearn to know that life unfolds, therefore it changes.  I desire to let go of the rigidness.  I no longer wish to know.  As I let go of my beliefs, I begin to just be; to be a creature simply of Love.

​

I intend to see doubt and choose Love.
