There is a place that exists deep within the recesses of the mind that I have been before and that I am trying to return to once again. I take long walks and breathe and tap out beats to catch a rhythm but that is not enough. The only way to get there is by crossing the threshold, which is the unifying theme and name of this publication.
“ This is why we we cannot use the plot templates of the ordinary world. There is no room for art in diagrams. We must create a portal for something new to be birthed.”
I am curious to see what is on the other side of the the threshold. Perhaps a better title would be "At the Threshold," as the threshold does not seemed to have been crossed yet. The question for me is--How exactly do you cross that threshold? Is something needed to open the portal? I am not certain that writing, meditation, or even hallucinogens are enough to do it. I just finished writing my "morning pages" and concluded that one important thing that I am overlooking in my life is the "exploration of my inner world." But I stopped writing at that exact point and circled the phrase. Why? Because I could not figure out a way to start that journey. I can visualize a door frame and a landscape beyond. What comes next?

Amazing line. Great intro.
