The Sacred Thresholds
For many years, I have been drawn to the delicate, almost imperceptible moments that mark our transition from one state of being to another. These sacred thresholds are whispers from the soul, inviting us to pause and listen. As I grow and shift, I spiral back into the tender exposure of vulnerability, the relieving caress of tenderness, and the humble robustness of resilience.
In these moments of passage, clarity dances with obscurity, emptiness and plenitude weave a delicate balance, and solitude and collectivity commune uniquely. These thresholds are not just transitions but sacred invitations to delve deeper into the essence of our being.
Vulnerability softly opens the door to our true selves, allowing us to gently touch the raw and fragile parts of our humanity. Through this acceptance, we find robustness in our authenticity. Tenderness nurtures our spirit, fostering deep, meaningful connections. Resilience, quietly steadfast, supports us as we navigate the seasons of life with grace and resolve.
Through the years, these sacred thresholds have guided me in cultivating a quality of listening, sensing, and navigating that resonates with these unique qualities. This sacred trinity—vulnerability, tenderness, and resilience—forms the foundation of our embodied and expressive entirety, guiding us through life's challenges.
Navigating the nuances of our inner being, we enter into delicate dialogue with the fertile growth-edges of our heart and soul. These frontiers offer shelter and nurturance during times of transition and challenge, becoming potent gateways of transformation and freedom.
