Wandering ALong the Path: Right Speech

Uncertainty.  A principle for Buddhists and a glaring fact for everyone else right now.  It is interesting to see people's reactions to the Coronavirus.  As I said to my younger son yesterday, our family has been living and breathing uncertainty due to my older daughter's cancer.  All plans must have a way out, insurance, and the ability to look forward without "counting on".  We are practiced at this uncertainty business.  And my Buddhist practice has prepared me to take deep breaths and ease in to What Is So.  I find my mind scurrying around what if this happens/what if that happens, but then I detach from that "rehearsing" and fall back into one day, one minute at a time.  I'm I'm attempting to enjoy those moments and fully take them in.  Each could be my last.  Don't know.
