“It isnt the sound of what you always heard that moves you now, it is the move that finds the sound”
There is a season in life
when the noise fades.
The children grow.
The work softens.
The house grows quieter
than it has ever been.
And in that quiet
something unfamiliar appears,
space.
At first it feels like loss.
Like something has ended
and nothing has taken its place.
But look closer.
This is not emptiness.
It is a field
after harvest.
The rows are bare.
The soil rests.
The air holds its breath
between seasons.
Nothing is growing yet.
But everything
is possible
Reflection
Many people reach this stage of life and believe something is wrong with them.
They feel slower.
More reflective.
Less certain about what comes next.
Society sometimes calls this depression.
But very often it is something else entirely.
It is the moment when life stops pushing you forward
and quietly asks you to choose your direction for yourself.
For the first time in many years, the calendar is not filled by necessity.
The path is not already drawn.
This can feel frightening.
But it can also be the beginning of the most authentic chapter of a life.
Tomorrow : we’ll explore a question many people quietly ask at this stage of life:
If I am no longer defined by the roles I carried for decades… who am I now?

I am in the quiet field, Kerri. You wrote exactly as I have felt about it. I am really looking forward to your insights. It is a peaceful, yet puzzling time. So much reflection, but also an opportunity to explore new territory!

That quiet can feel unfamiliar, even unsettling at first, but you’re right, it’s not emptiness. It’s a space where something new can begin. A place where we slow down enough to listen, to reflect, and to seek what truly matters.
I see this as a moment where God gently draws us closer. When the noise fades, His voice becomes clearer. It’s a season not of loss, but of being led… where He begins to shape what comes next according to His will.
