Joanna Macy on Uncertainty
“I know the Great Turning is happening. At the same time, I know we’re not sure how the story will end. I want so much to feel sure. I want to be able to tell people, “Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay”. And you know what, I realize it will not be doing anyone a favor. First of all, we can’t know. Secondly, if somehow, we can be given a pill to convince don’t worry, it’s going to turn out okay, will that elicit from us our greatest creativity and courage? NO…It’s that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest power”.
We're possibly living in one of the most exciting, yet challenging times in human history. Can we stick together and overcome the obstacles ahead?
