Do you ever get the feeling that there is something coming that has such a finality to it?

I know something is coming- just not when, what, who, how or why. But for some reason, I don’t think knowing any of that will prevent it or make it easier.

    I do, indeed!

    There’s a passage, somewhere in the Bible, which reads”
    “Thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” It
    seems to insinuate something bad–but it could just
    as well be something good!

    I tend to notice only the bad surprises–I think most of
    us do, though I don’t know why. There’s a book by
    Deepak Chopra, “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”.
    In this book, he explains the “Wisdom of Uncertainty”–
    which is the realization, and acceptance, that nothing
    is certain, for anyone. How do we deal with this
    uncertainty? He advises the reader to “Relinquish your
    attachment to the outcome. Everything is as it is meant
    to be, in this moment.”

    This has become a mantra, for me. The only way I can
    endure life’s uncertainty is to focus on the moment.
    I wish I could see into my future–provided that I could
    prevent any bad stuff–but I can’t. I can only live one
    moment at a time.
