Be(a)ware the Catastrophobia and Nattering Nabobs

Ahhh, thank you, Jamie! Yes, catastrophobia is in full force these days. My, goodness! What will people do when the world doesn’t end on September 13, or 23, or 30th? Oh, right, November will be the end. …. Excellent perspective and sharing here, and I particularly love the last two quotes:

“If everything is uncertain, then the future is open to creativity, not merely human creativity but the creativity of all nature. It is open to possibility, and therefore to a better world. But we can only get there as we are ready to invest our moral energies in its achievement.” ~ Immanuel Wallerstein

And …

“In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty … in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the Universe.” ~ Deepak Chopra in The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

Much love!
