The Lexicon

Some experiences are difficult to explain until someone gives them a name.

Words shape the way we see the world.
The Fourth Quarter Lexicon is a growing collection of ideas, phrases, and definitions that give language to experiences many of us have felt—but rarely knew how to describe.
Some words you’ll recognize.
Others were born around our campfire.
Every one of them exists to help us better understand this season of life.

Loss of Tribe

A quiet grief that follows the loss of the community, identity, and daily relationships that once gave life its rhythm.
