We’ve let go of everything that no longer felt true.
Relationships. Roles. Homes. Structures. Certainties.
Not out of impulse.
But out of clarity.
Because it simply became unbearable to keep going against what we knew to be true.
—
And no — the new hasn’t arrived yet.
No ready-made alternative.
No solid ground.
No master plan.
What remains is the silence after the truth.
The space where nothing moves.
That phase few dare to stay in:
The waiting — until something emerges that actually feels right.
Not out of passivity, but out of loyalty.
Loyalty to what you feel — even if that means: moving house with no destination. Cleaning out without a clear next step.
Letting go without a guarantee.
Three moves in three years.
Not because we had to.
But because everything in us said:
This is where we stop living what no longer fits.
—
And maybe that is the deeper meaning of leadership:
Daring to choose without knowing the outcome.
Daring to move without outside confirmation.
Daring to wait, rather than push.
📦 The photo speaks for itself.
But the silence behind it says even more.
Very well said, Ron. Honestly, it’s in moments like these that we grow the most, especially when you think about everything we’ve been through in the past few years. It will find it’s place.
This is the most profound and meaningful post and photo. It seems like you completely understand the magnitude of silence after truth, and at the same time, you are assuring me that it's okay to stay in this space until something emerges that feels right. To others, it looks like I am doing more than I ever did before that day when silence took over. You know better, don't you?
