NOTE

The Moment of Uncertainty

Imagine being born at the wrong time. But what if you were actually born at the right time? Accept your task of responding to the situation and embrace uncertainty. In a letter to the future, the writer introduces the Tagalog phrase Baha'u'llana, which means whatever happens happens. It's about going for it, using your resources and improvisational abilities. Every historical moment is uncertain, including the present. Your actions now shape the future. Adopt the Baha'u'llana attitude.
