#003: Sitting in Liminal Space⁠↗

The English poet Willam Blake described these thresholds as “doors between the known and unknown.” My daughter’s birth is like a towering gate looming over me, quickly approaching and ready to swallow me. As I pass through, a part of me will die and another will emerge on the other side. With both feet firmly planted on the ground facing this certainty, my body is flooded with emotions⁠—anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, excitement⁠—because I treasure the road I’ve traveled, appreciate who I’ve become, and wonder how things will unfold.
