Thresholds Quotes

“Our bodies have a left-right symmetry, a different front and back and a different top and bottom. We constantly project these on to ideas and on to the world, as we experience the world through a body with those orientations. Consequently, to us they seem so real that we never consider questioning them.”

“Life is everywhere: throughout sky, sea and soil. Microbial life has been found floating way up in the highest levels of the atmosphere, within the deepest rocks we can reach by drilling, and in the depths of the deepest oceans.
Where these domains intersect is the very place where life is most vibrant: the threshold surfaces of soil, sea and sky. Between the depths and the heights. Here where the different environments come together, there is the most biodiversity.”

“There are thresholds everywhere. They are between everything. We are immersed in thresholds, yet they are almost invisible to us. When we do notice them, we often ignore them.
If you start to become more conscious of thresholds you can learn from them, and decide if, when, and how to navigate them. Paying attention to these liminal spaces, giving pause, gains you perspective and wisdom.”
