To sit in anxiety is to stay a little longer. A little longer. A little longer. And to see what happens. We experiment with it, curiously. “Let’s see what happens.” My meditation teacher, Tim, says this. “Let’s, as in let us, as in you, me and the workings of the universe, simply observe what happens if you don’t fight it, if you just stay.” I do this. I stay in the muck and the mire. I like the idea that it’s not just me on my own doing this. It’s all of “us.”
