We move on from Words Are For You to a month of silence into the new place where we wonder what comes next.
I don’t have the time to provide a proper post that fills in the blanks, gaps, nooks, and crannies for what I am referring to here.
This isn’t intended to be a teaser where I give you a taste of something that will catch your eye and make you anxiously await the next installment.
It’s just one man saying one of the hardest and biggest changes a person can face has come about and now that it is over I am standing on the other side trying to catch my breath.
This is the first moment I have had to think about and consider what I want to do, what I ought to do and what I need to do.
It is the first moment where I can try to wipe away the fog and figure out what comes next.
Life is forever changed and for once that is not an exaggeration. The lack of hyperbole in that underscores the intensity of the moment and the profound sense of “WTF” just happened.
I guess I am going to find out.
I’ve found that what comes next is not going to come in a moment.
Things will move forward and new realities will develop.
A new, albeit different, normal will come about even when you feel someone missing.
