Shaken

To cross a threshold is to leave behind the husks and arrive at the grain.*
John O’Donohue

If there is no conflict there is no interest.**
Fred Wilson

I may have desired a trouble-free life, with
a modest degree of success thrown in, but
it has been when I faced some issue or difficulty that
a threshold appeared, and with it
a good shaking out, because
I was unable to cross the threshold with all my husk intact –
Thresholds are for revealing the grain in us.^

What is the new horizon in you that wants to be seen?*

^Admittedly, at the time I couldn’t the thresholds, I could only feel the threshings.
