My goodness-- the piece on Liminal Spaces switched a light in me. It's so insightful to hear that it's actually beneficial to sit with these spaces and enjoy it, rather than them being something to get rid of as soon as possible. How did we become conditioned to perceive these sacred spaces as being meaningless and not functional when they are so integral to our ideas and their executions, whether it be intellectual or creative? I think this really ties into the concept of valuing the journey, and not just the destination-- not just the places on the journey where you're moving, but also where you're sitting still.
Thank you for sharing this 🤎 Such a beautiful reflection / questions to explore.
This reminds me: Interestingly, we used to have rituals to honor the sacredness of liminal spaces (that's actually what Arnold van Gennep's initial work was exploring) - to help us find community, belonging and that "light" in the darkness. But, as we moved into a more individualized, "productive" world - away from natural cycles on many levels - we lost those, too.
Something interesting to explore further would be: The connection between nature, rituals and honoring the full cycle of creative, liminal spaces 💭
