I love the word liminal. It comes from the Latin word for threshold and refers to the state of being in between or poised between one stage and the next.
For some reason, the idea of liminality has always conjured up a sense of possibility for me. It's that point between what is and what comes next.
Although some people might interpret liminal negatively, since it kind of means uncertain, I prefer to spin it positively. Anything can happen, but I tell myself that something good or better comes out of liminal time and space.
I'm probably making that up, but that's what works for me. When things are uncertain, I can tell myself I'm in liminal space, and voilà, I feel more hopeful.
Apparently, that whole positive thinking thing works. I rest and take deep breaths when I am in a liminal space, knowing that whatever comes next is in my best interest.
