When The Middle Isnt By Choice, Managing The Unknown
I did everything right. I followed every rule. And I still found myself waiting to find out if I’d lose my career. This is what that experience taught me about The Unknown and why sitting with uncertainty might be one of the hardest things we ever have to do.
June Theme: The Messy Middle
Before the sunflowers ever open up into those iconic, heavy golden blooms, young sunflowers practice something called heliotropism. Every single day, their growing stalks actively track the sun from east to west. And every single night, in total darkness, they quietly reset themselves to face east again, eagerly waiting for dawn.
The metaphor writes itself. These flowers show us that the daily, optimistic reset is exactly what the "middle" invites us to do.
