Uncertainty

When I am stressed out I have a harder time dealing with uncertainty.
It is almost a dirty word.
Because there exists a false perception that if we KNOW what is about to happen, that things will turn out favorably.
Right?
But it is a false sense of security.
Because we can never know for sure what is going to happen tomorrow,
And "control" is an allusion,
And no matter what our minds trick us into believing,
We are always OK.

There is always Light
Even in the dark moments

Tomorrow when I meet the orthopedic surgeon,
The person I believe has all the answers;
Who, because of the letters, MD-- I think he can "fix" everything (a common Western belief, even though our bodies deserve more of the credit for healing that they receive)....

I remind myself, and you,
That no matter what words are spoken in that medical office or (other difficult place you find yourself):

I am not alone,
And I am always OK
As long as I remember,
That Light
