I often think of this transition of time in relation to my eldest child, and the changes we keep constantly observing, like moving from a crib to a bed. The moment is quite fleeting but in the process of transition (me taking down the crib and laying down sheets on his new bed) there is a whole grab bag of emotions: awe, pride, sadness that he isn't frozen in time, a future present feeling of nostalgia for the moment you're in.
This is a wonderful article, and one written for a most appropriate time.
Liminality's root word "liminal" is one of my favorite words to say and think about mindfully.
There are a few words in languages that sound like their meaning. Words such as ding, clang, and others come to mind. I believe though, that liminality is one of the few words that carry sound and meaning in a context of its own.
Thank you for your very beautiful and insightful article.
Somewhere between the One and it's other (the liminal)... May both you and Joel continue to dream your wings in the coming year... And here's to that wonderful little girl of yours - Frida. What a treasure. So cheers to the One (who dreams) within us all..! A happy and auspicious 2026.
Thank you!! Beautifully said! And a very happy new year to you as well! I look forward to all the adventures (whatever they may be) that come in the new year
I’m so glad you like! I feel like realizing and appreciating the liminal is so important. It connects us to each other and our time in ways that is hard to describe… try as we might 😅
