'A threshold is a sacred thing,' ancient wisdom tells us. In some places of the world, in some traditional cultures, and in monastic life, this is still remembered. In our fast-paced modern world, this wisdom is often lost on us, but world events keep calling us back to the importance of thresholds between peoples, and questions about hospitality between borders, especially when people feel threatened. In To Pause at the Threshold, the author looks at what it is like to live in actual 'border country' and explores the importance of opening up and being receptive to one's surroundings, whatever they may be. Softcover, 102 pages. Book measures 4 x 6 inches. Morehouse Publishing. |
