This feels incredibly resonant. I think I've moved to the Liminal step by step, and no sign I'm ever gonna come out. I wonder if these times don't require that (uncertainty, mobility, flexibility). Thank you - this feels strangely exciting...

It does feel like it's happening on a larger scale since COVID. I was expecting it to settle by now but nope. And yes, underneath (or behind) the exhaustion is excitement for what can/will emerge.

this was a beautiful piece. i very much relate to your conflicted feelings about new york, and how it can feel like such a uniquely magical place but also suffocating. sometimes, i think a change of scenery is necessary to jolt us out of complacency/boredom and re-infuse joy into our perspective. thanks for sharing and good luck with the move!

Thanks, Elaine. It does feel like that. Lots of energy, little space.

I don't know what the answer is - dip into NYC from time to time or leave it every so often - and I suspect I can't see it without some distance.

I've been feeling that for a long time. Can't get past the climax.
