Every time you feel the pull to sever from something that's not working, it's an invitation to step beyond the familiar. The pull is there for a reason; a restless whisper of the numinous. A subtle signal amid all the noise.

Recognize it during health crises that force you to rebuild your relationship with your body, in financial losses that shatter your sense of security, or in moments when your beliefs are challenged by a deeper knowing. You might catch its glimmer in creative projects that require you to destroy old work to birth something new, or in spiritual practices that strip away previous delusions.

Because as your next death awaits—whether a death of identity, structure, relationship, or belief—a birth is already taking shape.

It does not rush, but it does not wait forever.

All you’ve got to do is say yes.
