Indicated doesn’t check if I’m ready.

Or if I agree.

Or if I feel like it.

Or if I want to.

Indicated is.

Indicated is a direction that arrives

before the explanation.

Clarity with and without comfort.

Knowing what to do without knowing why.

That’s the game.

That’s the ache.

That’s the work.

That’s redeeming work.

Sometimes what’s indicated

doesn’t align with what I want.

My opinions?

Not required.

My preferences?

Already accounted for.

That’s the benefit and the cost

of being in relationship with theboss.

My desire has been considered.

The direction is different.

It’s not a punishment.

It’s not a mystery.

It’s an opportunity for alignment.

Indication is what surfaces

when I’m willing to pay attention

to my attention.

When I am willing to pay for with my attention.

Attention is the most valuable gift given.

Or received.

I can trust what captured it.

I can follow where it points.

Even when it pulls me

away from certainty.

Away from comfort.

Away from what I thought I signed up for.

Indicated is above my pay grade.

That’s the point.

My job is not to question the source.

My job is to listen,

to reflect,

to do what’s indicated.

Even when I don’t know why.

Especially then.
