Meditation From Learning To Stop Strategizing

The more I learn about mindfulness, the more I realize I’m not solving for anything. I’m just learning to stop strategizing.

The world is beautiful and full of love, and also, torn up by war, overwhelming, uncertain at best. To me the most natural response has been to strategize. How could I possibly get by without a plan?

But I’m beginning to see that a more mindful response is to do just that. Of course we have to know how to do our job well, how to love well, know the route home. Yet moment by moment, what seems most important these days is learning to stand in the middle of each uncertain, moment, without a solution.
