Living at the Threshold
When Uncertainty Becomes a Way of Life
We often imagine uncertainty as something temporary. A difficult season. A transition we simply have to endure until life returns to normal.
But what if, for some people, uncertainty isn't a season at all?
What if it is the landscape they live within?
This question led me to explore one of the central ideas behind Threshold Practice: the difference between passing through a threshold and learning to inhabit one. As an educational psychologist and threshold practitioner, I have spent years working alongside people whose lives resist neat endings, simple answers, and predictable paths. That experience has fundamentally changed how I think about change, resilience, and meaning.
In this new essay, I explore why not every threshold is meant to be crossed, and why learning to dwell within uncertainty may be one of the most profound forms of discernment we can cultivate.
I would love to hear your thoughts after you read it.
