Within me there exists a threshold where my conscious mind stands present. I believe this place exists in each of us. So, we all stand on this middle ground between all of our past experiences and the unformed future. In the darkness and shadows of our past, memories (both good and bad) move like phantoms. Sometimes they reach out and touch us, yet to remain present can decrease the chances of being swept away. I stand on the threshold, holding my past in perspective as I lift my face towards the light of possibilities. This is my view from here.
