Harold, I really appreciate how you're extending this conversation! I've started reading "Wayfinding Leadership" and I'm seeing how many of my own hard-earned realizations align with this approach. As I read the book, it feels like a form of remembering something that we already know but have forgotten and I'm thinking about how do we return to this more aligned way of being with uncertainty?

Part of what's interesting to me is that there was a time when we knew that we didn't "know." In some sense, everything was exploration and moving in uncharted territory. But now we think we've mapped everything out and it's just a matter of following the GPS. It's disconcerting to be confronted with the limits of our knowing.

As we are navigating the confusion of these times, I'm finding myself also sitting with some different questions than I did back in 2016 during the first Trump administration. and wonder how they might open more room to move. Questions like:

What is asking to be revealed, not explained?

Can I see what patterns are emerging, without rushing to impose form or meaning? Can I suspend my need to "know" long enough to see a more holistic picture?

What are the underlying (mostly invisible) energetic currents of how people are moving right now? How do we amplify what heals and disrupt what doesn't?

What if the work right now isn't about finding better answers, but attuning more to the questions and finding new and better questions to light the way forward?

In some sense, these are "felt" things, not intellectual constructs. Not that we don't have a need for logic, but I think we’re reaching the edge of what logic and linear analysis can offer us. What we need now may be less about precision and more about perception — about developing the capacity to feel into a field of coherence rather than force clarity through intellect alone.

Coherence, in this sense, isn't about agreement. It's about a kind of felt alignment — when our inner knowing, our relational presence, and the energetic patterns of the moment are in conversation with one another. It's what happens when we stop trying to master the moment and begin to truly meet it.

I’m grateful for this space where we can share broken images, open questions, and glimpses of what might be trying to emerge. There’s something deeply wise in this collective listening.
