I hope my words of unworried wisdom help to unfurrow a few corrugated brows. My mom, a professional worrier, bestowed them upon me several years ago in a transient moment of clarity. Today, coincidentally enough, meditation teacher Susan Chen broadcast this in *her* email:

“In the Vedic worldview, speculation is the root of all suffering. Why? When we speculate, we move into iterations of what we think may happen instead of what’s actually happening right now.

“While we’re busy playing out an imagined Category 5 disaster in our minds, we completely miss actual evolution unfolding—effortlessly, right before our eyes.”
