Categories are funny things, aren't they? On the one hand they can be helpful, and perhaps accurate 99% of the time. But then something doesn't fit and it can challenge how we think and perhaps cause a crisis, when in reality the thought was only structured a certain way because of the categorisation. In such instances, it's probably the category that needs adjusting, not the thing, or how we think about the thing.
Very beautiful, Nina. Transition, process, thresholds are all very much in the air for me too right now. Thanks for pointing to them so beautifully and reminding me that "here right now" is really what there is.
Francesca thank you for that comment, it’s very motivating. Sometimes it’s a bit of a cathartic process for me, and I wonder what others might get from that!

Another thought-provoking post as always, Nina
Yes, very well said - and our challenge is to somehow sit with all of that :)

Thank you Maureen I appreciate your comment. I hope you are doing Ok in your threshold x
I really enjoy the way you write (and think) I find it ‘tender’ and inspiring … it’s almost like I can hear it coming from your heart
