Thresholds To stand and gaze at the outset, mind a'spinning and wonder if this is then the proper beginning dare to wonder if the portal should be crossed to stand at the brink could result in loss swing wide the gate and travel through for this entrance was made for you turn from submissive to unblushing bold and take the step, pass over the threshold. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 23 July 2000 Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

At the crossroads one stands with a flustered soul, unable to cross over to one side or another... At such times, it take a push, (perhaps, a heavenly push) to overcome the threshold... The barriers once crossed are like shackles broken... and in freedom the soul flies... Hmmm thoughts... thoughts... and more thoughts Karilea, you can judge for yourself how the poem is... regards, sudhir |

Discerning which to cross lends much to the thought of the worthiness of the travel. Great read and much inspiring. Loved it |
