Kinnari and Mitali, this is such a helpful reflection. I am reminded of meeting a Benedictine sister years ago at her monastery. She told me how difficult that period of uncertainty, or liminal space, is. She called it “hell in the hallway.” Her frank admission loosened something in both of us. We laughed and became fast friends.
Thanks for sharing that Daniel - it is so true that the liminal space is so unknown. But recognizing it as the ending of something and the beginning of the next thing can give us the space to enjoy the feeling.

I'm smiling at "hell in the hallway" coming from benedictine sister :)
