Centuries ago Porphyrus wrote:
“A threshold is a sacred thing.”
I think the sacredness
of the threshold
is the fire of imagination
where a creator is consumed
surrenders self to emerge again
reborn.
Each act of creation
is akin to finding courage
to enter Hades
and to find your way
back home again
resurrected, alive
bearing the light
of the
lantern-bearer.
