So the threshold, in a way, is a place where you move into a more crucial and challenging and worthy fullness. There are huge thresholds in every life. You know that, for example, if you are in the middle of life on a busy evening.....and you get a phone call that someone you love is suddenly dying, it takes just ten seconds to communicate that information. But when you put the phone down, you are already standing in a different world. Suddenly everything that seemed so important before is all gone, and now you are thinking of this. So the given world that we think is there and the solid ground we are on is so tentative. And the threshold is a line which separates two territories of spirit, and very often how we cross is the key thing John O Donohue, quoted in the beautiful book, Krista Tippett, Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
