“When you can appreciate your life as part of this unfolding mystery of the immense forces that formed the entire universe, you can more easily accept the hardships that you face. They are part of the unfolding of life. Many difficulties you’ve face include endings, but none of them so far has been the end of your story. Without knowing the whole story, it is impossible to draw definite conclusions about our difficulties. We are still in the middle of them and don’t know how it will all turn out… To accept this basic uncertainty in life is to discover the wisdom of insecurity. When we realize that things are fundamentally uncertain and learn how to relax into this…we come to trust in the unfolding of our individual lives within the vastness of all time and space. As Zen Master Suzuki Roshi says, “When you realize the truth that everything changes and find your composure in it you find yourself in Nirvana.””
