Your line “Out here, there are no fish” really hit me. That’s how it feels trying to raise kids with real values, lead with integrity, and still chase something meaningful when the returns aren’t guaranteed or even understood. I’ve come to believe the silence we meet when we step off the beaten path isn’t empty it’s what forces us to hear ourselves.
Beautiful- your writing is captivating Jordan. I cant wait to read this book of yours! Here's to those brave enough to fish alone and cast into the unknown.
