Doubt

Doubt is an ocean I’ve swum in for years. It’s made me cautious, sceptical, slow, reckless, persuadable, open, mistaken, impulsive, anxious, experimental and wise. Yet seeing uncertainty differently as a chance to be thoughtful and considered, doubt has helped me take time, to come back to myself, to slow down, to speak and act when I’m surer. I’ve learned I can hold creative tension, that doubt doesn’t need to stop me acting but to give due consideration.  Waiting is good, and patience is peaceful.  Doubt is grounding.
