The Dwelling Map

Before you can leave the Waiting World, you have to know what holds you in it.

I have named five anchors on these pages: the outcome, the proof, the fear, the role, and the permission. Most people carry more than one. One is nearly always deepest, and it is not always the one you would guess. The questions below are a way of looking, fifteen of them, answered honestly and quickly, without stopping to polish.

Two things before you begin. This is a reflection, not a verdict: it reads what your answers say today, and today changes. And it is private in the plainest sense: your answers are weighed here in your own browser and are never sent anywhere, not to me, not to anyone.

Whatever the map shows, the way onward is the same: name the anchor, set it down, and cross without it. The seven nights walk that road one evening at a time.
