When something confuses us, we hurry to think and analyze. But often thinking more does not bring us closer to clarity. Sometimes it begins with pausing, and asking what we are feeling right now.
Some seasons bring us to where the old path no longer fits, but the new one is not yet clear. Pausing to notice what is shifting within may help the next step appear more honestly.
We can answer at once what others might want. But asked "and you?", there is often a long silence. Not from having no answer, but from listening to the voices around us until our own grew quiet.
