I’m learning to sit in uncertainty,
balanced on a rock
in the middle of a roaring river
that seeks to sweep me away.
It requires some degree of diligence
to find my center of balance,
to push back on the panic
when it tries to enter at the periphery.
The rock has deep roots in the earth,
a planet’s depth of gravity,
the raging water only at the surface.
I close my eyes and cling tight.
