I wanted to get it closer to right.

The title. The tone. The truth.

A beginning. A place to begin.

A demonstration.

A chance to say:

Here’s what we believe.

Here’s how we behave.

Here’s what it looks like

to develop a life around restraint.

As honest and

as perfectly imperfect

as I can.

Moment by moment.

These are some of those moments.

Moments of clarity.

Moments of choice.

Moments of leverage.

Moments that asked more from us.

More intention.

More vulnerability.

More precision.

We gave it.

This isn’t a bestseller.

This is likely to only reach five people.

For those five,

we are hoping it will be unmistakable.

Unforgettable. Unseeable.

This is a source text.

This is what we believe to be true.

No hacks, rules, or answers.

These are our observations.

Hard-won.

Earned.

Lived.

Held with restraint.

Offered for your consideration.

We’re not promising better answers.

We’re suggesting better questions.

That feels like a good place to start.

A humble “I don’t know,”

paired with the clearest demonstration

of what we do believe to be true.
