POEM
by Carol Thigpen
UNCERTAINTY
Jones has been all about uncertainty
from day one
-should I even go look at him
-should I buy him
-will he be sound
-is he the one
-should I spend that much money
-why him
-then he’s sick or hurt
-will he recover
-what’s the message here
-nothing about Jones has ever been certain –
he wrote the book on uncertainty
and that
is why
he was “a gift from God”
he is teaching me to love with
uncertainty (ugh)
and
Being ok with it –
embracing it –
saying how it actually
helps us grow.
learning to accept
and go with the flow
no guarantees
Uncertainty
no rule book.
no master plan.
no more “perfect”
I finally found my answer
and I know it’s true
because it touches my soul.
Jones
my gift from God.
Feather is teaching me “to never give up.”
Jones is teaching me to “embrace uncertainty.”
