Today, The Compass has been released.
Thank you to everyone who has been reading this blog along the way.
When I first began writing Before Setting Sail and Signals, I wasn’t setting out to promote a book.
I was simply recording observations.
Things I noticed.
Things I misunderstood.
Moments when I stopped.
As those observations accumulated, The Compass gradually took shape.
The Compass is not a book of answers.
Nor does it hand you a new compass.
I believe we each already have one.
What this book offers is sixteen coordinates for observing your present location—the perspective needed before you can use your own compass.
It is not a map of life.
Nor does it promise the right direction.
It begins with a quieter question:
Where am I now?
A book being released does not suddenly change the sea.
Tomorrow, there will still be days when we feel uncertain.
Days when we misread what we see.
Days when we stop.
That is simply part of navigation.
Observation is never something we do once.
It is something we return to, again and again.
This book is not the end of the conversation.
It is simply one record.
Observation continues.
So will this blog.
What I noticed today.
What I misread.
What I may try differently next time.
A record of observation, a tentative hypothesis, and the next part of the voyage.
If this book does anything, I hope it is not to give you more answers.
I hope it simply helps you see where you are with a little more clarity.
And perhaps, from there, choose your next step using your own compass.
This book is one record.
The observation continues.
