May this note find you well amidst the season of swift winds and transitions. Inherent in any transition or change is a period of liminality. Coming from the Latin root limen meaning threshold, a liminal period is often marked by disorientation and ambiguity. It can feel uncomfortable and unbearable, and may prompt us to do things to end that discomfort, whether it is finding an escape or grasping for strategies to rush the process and arrive at the other side of transition, at a place with more certainty and grounding. But what becomes possible if we are able to be in that liminal space without trying to change it? What gifts might liminality hold if we are open to receiving them?
