This liminal
moment, nestled
between what was
and what is yet to coalesce into being;
this liminal space, a slice between where we were
and where we are going;
this liminal opportunity,
a breath between who we were and who we will become –
thin as a blade, it offers itself to us,
never shying away from any choice that has brought us here.
Boldly, it opens into this moment, this place, this breath.
We are dancers
on the very edges of things,
our possibilities wrapped about us,
the hems of our dancing skirts
swirling in the chaos of what might be.
May we feel the urgency of time as it calls to us.
May we
absorb the density of space
in which
we find
ourselves.
May
we b
reath
e our
way
in
to th
e ful
lness
of
our b
eing.
We are dancers on the very edges of things.
So dance.
