Threshold
My wife and I used to live in the Midwest, before moving
to the Rocky Mountains. I remember very distinctly standing
on the street in front of our apartment, reaching down
and touching the blacktop. "This street,"
I remember thinking, "is connected to our new home."
And where, I wondered, did this street change to become
that street?
The dividing line between there and
here, then and now, this and that, is ultimately a matter
of perception. Remove the doors, the lines, or the time
and the separation becomes more vague, more personal
and subjective. If doors, lines, and time are all creations
of humanity, then so too is the separation we seem so
eager to celebrate.
That's not to say that there isn't a
difference between a desert and a tropical paradise...
to think so would be a blatant denial. But there is
a connection, a continuum that leads from on to the
other, and the point of transition is impossible to
objectively determine. The chrysallis and the butterfly,
youth and age, wisdom and folly are all waves on an
ocean, each with the seed of the other contained within.
Celebrate diversity. Embrace unity.
Threshold was used on the back cover
of the Kryon Quarterly magazine in 1999... the issue
later won a production award for best cover layout.
