About

You might be here because a chapter has closed and nothing has opened yet, and the waiting is proving harder than the ending did. That interval gets almost no attention from anybody, which is unfortunate, because it is where most people actually struggle. What the next season holds is not usually knowable in advance, and pretending otherwise produces a lot of restless planning that goes nowhere. We work on being able to sit in an unresolved period without treating it as an emergency, while still doing the small concrete things that make the following thing likelier. Both are needed and they are quite different skills. I consider this a craft I am still refining, and the waiting period is the part I have had to get better at not rushing. I sit in it with people now rather than hurrying them out. If nothing has opened yet, get in touch.
