A threshold can as easily be an invitation inside as a call to move out into adventure. One of the most important thresholds we cross is into the place that feels like home.

Where do you feel most at home?

“Rituals, anthropologists will tell us, are about transformation. The rituals we use for marriage, baptism or inaugurating a president are as elaborate as they are because we associate the ritual with a major life passage, the crossing of a critical threshold, or in other words, with transformation.”

―Abraham Verghese

At every threshold, every transition, there is some bit of us that we leave behind. Every choice means that we must give up the thing we didn’t choose. Some choices are harder than others, and perhaps some image of ourselves remains on the other side of those difficult doors.

What choice for you was significant enough that you can imagine yourself on the other side of that door?

“We stand in life at midnight; we are always at the threshold of a new dawn.”
―Martin Luther King, Jr.

What different worlds do you like to bring together?
