At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? A threshold is not a simple boundary; it is a frontier that divides two different territories, rhythms, and atmospheres. Indeed, it is a lovely testimony to the fullness and integrity of an experience or a stage of life that it intensifies toward the end into a real frontier that cannot be crossed without the heart being passionately engaged and woken up. At this threshold a great complexity of emotion comes alive: confusion, fear, excitement, sadness, hope. This is one of the reasons such vital crossings were always clothed in ritual. It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the key thresholds: to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross.

We often fear success and how it might alter our lives, so we dismiss our big ideas. Pay attention to those whispers in your mind. Brainstorm alone or with others. Every idea has a purpose, even if it's not meant to be. Trust the process. Be brilliant!

The years tick on by and I am realizing that the really beautiful hearts have dents in them. That the most beautiful things in life have been fractured or cracked a few times. That the clothes that carry the most memories are those with rips, fades, holes or have been passed down. That there is a grace in every wrinkle caused by grief, loss or heartfelt joy. That aging is a deepening of your roots to this earth. And scars are birthmarks of the hero you bring to life in yourself every time you get through a hard moment.
