A surprise shakes something loose today. A fact comes out, a pretense drops, or something you already doubted finally gives way. It can feel abrupt, yet you end up seeing the situation as it really is, and that is a gift. Do not rush to rebuild the old version. Take in what you now know, then decide what is worth keeping.
