Reflections in the Ash
“After the fire, there’s silence.
And in the silence—there are answers.”
This is the moment after the collapse.
The world didn’t end.
But something in you did.
The version of yourself you kept defending…
The illusion you were clinging to…
The story you outgrew without realizing…
It’s all dust now.
And here you are—
Surrounded by ash,
Soot on your hands,
Breathing slow and sacred.
This isn’t defeat.
This is data.
This is what’s left when the lies burn away.
Look around.
What survived the fire?
What’s still warm in your hands?
The next chapter won’t be built on noise.
It’ll be built on what remains when everything else has fallen.
🔮 REFLECTION / ACTIVATION RITUAL
Light a candle.
Stare into the flame until your breath slows.
When ready, write answers to the following:
What part of me burned away?
What truth was revealed in the smoke?
What am I still clinging to that needs to turn to ash?
You’re not broken.
You’re refining.
