Uncertainties

Being good with not knowing feels like a diplomatic practice. ‘I don’t know’, ‘we don’t know’, ‘no one knows’ allows uncertainty. Surety is elusive, planning ahead often ineffective; looking round corners that may not exist is exhausting. Learning to respond rather than demand, hold the creative tension, to stay calm rather than expect calamity, are qualities worth cultivating. All the while making little steps to creating the conditions to make better outcomes possible.
