The Long Middle Map
If you’re in a season where nothing is simple — illness, loss, divorce, caregiving, aging, upheaval — you don’t need a solution today. You might just need orientation.
This page is a navigation hub. Pick the question that fits your life right now, and follow it to stories and Field Notes that help you feel less alone — and a little more steady.
A place to find your footing when the old map no longer works — through stories and the ten Compass Points.
Start anywhere. Return as needed. These aren't step— they’re trail markers.
