Writing Across the Threshold

An invitation from Karen Hoffman

Moving from Winter to Spring is like crossing so many other thresholds in our lives. How do you mark times of thresholds? When you made your way from the traditional darkness of winter to the bounty of spring that began last week, what are ways you feel the change? Using various senses, we invite you to share your response to the emergence of spring in your life this week. What do you notice when you look, taste, smell, listen and touch in this new season? If you would like to share your writing with us, we’d love to read it.
Feel free to use the comments section below.
