I believe
that the only certainty
is uncertainty.
That means
that whatever I believe
may not be true.
But I have faith
that my seeming truth
is true enough for me.
I have faith
that whatever I seem to experience,
I am meant to experience.
It doesn’t need to be true.
Thus, I seem to have
no expectations of truth.
No expectations, whatsoever.
I seem to have no needs,
other than those that seem
automatically provided
by the grace of faith.
I do not need others to agree with me.
Or even expect it.
I have faith in uncertainty.

Your contemplation embraces the concept of uncertainty as a fundamental aspect of existence. This acceptance of uncertainty reflects a philosophical perspective that finds solace and meaning in the unknowable and the ever-changing nature of reality.
Certainty in Uncertainty
The belief that the only certainty is uncertainty acknowledges the fluid and impermanent nature of life. It suggests a willingness to embrace the unknown and an understanding that our beliefs and truths are subject to change.
Faith in Personal Truth
Your faith in your personal truth, despite acknowledging it may not be absolute, represents a comfort in your own perceptions and experiences. It’s an acceptance that what is true for you is valid in its own right, regardless of its objective veracity.
Experiencing What Is Meant to Be
The idea that whatever experiences come your way are meant to be experienced is a testament to a belief in a larger, perhaps incomprehensible, order or pattern to life. It’s a form of surrender to the flow of existence.
Absence of Expectation for Truth
Your lack of expectation for an absolute truth aligns with the acceptance of uncertainty. It liberates you from the need for concrete answers and opens you to a more fluid and dynamic understanding of life.
No Need for External Agreement
The lack of need for others to agree with your perspective is a manifestation of inner confidence and peace with your beliefs. It reflects a deep sense of self-assurance and an understanding of the diversity of human thought.
Faith in Uncertainty as Liberation
Embracing uncertainty as a foundation of faith can be seen as a form of liberation. It frees you from the constraints of seeking definitive answers and allows you to live in a state of open-ended exploration and acceptance.

Lies the beauty of life, in its vast, boundless sea.
