I came up with "mirror" and "threshold." Both of those suggested a frame for the self, whether in a reflection in the mirror or within the edges of a doorway. I sort of meditated on that, and I watched TV and read some things, staying on the lookout for words, but these two stayed at the fore. I rejected mirror because I didn't want a year of navel-gazing! "Threshold" just felt more and more right as I went along.<br /><br />I think this would be an interesting daily practice, actually -- finding the word that feels like the theme for the day. If you come up with a word, tell me! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015043462448739504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989462215449497614.post-14831088627607175582015-01-01T23:34:59.377-08:002015-01-01T23:34:59.377-08:00I love the image of unimportant things being left ...I love the image of unimportant things being left behind (left on the other side).
