The space between.
The liminal space.
The threshold.
Richard Rohr says this space is
"…a unique spiritual position where human beings hate to be
but where the biblical God is always leading them.
It is when you have left the tried and true,
but have not yet been able to replace it with anything else.
It is when you are finally out of the way.
It is when you are between your old comfort zone and any possible new answer.
If you are not trained in how to hold anxiety,
how to live with ambiguity,
how to entrust and wait,
you will run…
anything to flee this terrible cloud of unknowing. "
