Liminal Space

I did a lot of reading this weekend, and in addition to the Time article listed below something else struck home and made me feel a lot better about that place I'm in.

Which I now know may be called "liminal space" - an in-between place, neither here nor there, usually pretty dark and empty and without direction.

I read of one family's journey into and through that space. Uncertainty, wandering, criticism from others, it all felt so familiar, it all made sense.

And I don't think I'm uncomfortable anymore with being in a nothing-place. Not if it leads to deeper understanding, more rooted growth, a realization of which questions are important to ask and which to let go.
