The Threshold
Is the place between two states,
The pause before taking a step,
The sweet rest before the breath in,
The exhale of the plants underground,
Before their flamboyant push,
Into renewed life.
February: A month which is not winter, not summer,
Not the old year, not quite the new year.
A threshold of expectancy, and
Perhaps, also, the weariness of cold, wet, dark;
A liminal zone.
lim.i.nal (adjective): 1. Of, or relating to a
TRANSITION
2. Occupying a position at, or on both sides of,
A boundary or threshold.
From Latin limen - 'threshold'
Suddenly one day, weariness will turn to new life,
The earth will send up her life-filled scent,
Our bodies will want to dance under the sun.
We will cross the threshold.
Waking from her slumbers,
Life will seize us once again with her ebullient
SPIRIT
All you can do then is say yes,
And walk through the door opening to you,
Beckoning you into the unknown days ahead.
The wheel of life sends you,
Door after door,
Into your genuine self.
(Poem: Denise Benitez , Art: Unknown)
We are dedicated to your Heart's unfolding.
With love from your teachers,
Denise, Rainey, Bianca, Meg, Beth, Jane, Grace, Rebecca, Jorge, Erin, Ellen, Laura
