Doubt-full

“I’m sure” is a very self-limiting expression.   It usually means I am certain about something, and I have no doubt about it.   Certainty means that I have put aside the fundamental ambiguity of reality, the principles of quantum physics, the uncertainty principle that permeates everything real.  Most important, it means I have closed my mind.

Awareness emerges out of the gateway of doubt, not out of the rigid artifice of certainty.   Doubt is a gateway to discovery and understanding.  It opens my mind and heart to realities that  exist beyond my avowed knowledge.   Far from being a creature “plagued by doubt”, I embrace my friend Doubt and am grateful for her blessing.
