A look at life from a liminal perspective. Both my medical condition (myalgic encephalomyalitis) and my intuitive abilities are examples of liminal conditions. Liminality is the realm of tricksters, ambiguity, "betwixt and between"(ala Victor Turner). My body is not fully alive and my psyche has awareness of more than one realm. Though this is a subjective view, my hope is that it can benefit others by being placed in a larger perspective such as mythic, Jungian, transformative, or spiritual.

Just a Thought
We are suffering beings in a suffering world. This is why we must have compassion for our suffering. We are trying to bring the Divine into this suffering realm. This requires a great amount of attention, a process called mindfulness. This is not an easy thing to do. We are overcoming instinct and habit. This is the way to true freedom.
