Crossing the Threshold With God
I close my eyes and create sanctuary,
a moment of rest and retreat,
a place of silence and deep seeing,
a brief, take-a-breath, set-apart time.
I cross the threshold.
On the threshold
the present breaks all boundaries.
It is a convergence,
a fellowship with all time and space.
We find You there.
And we are found by You there.
"Crossing the Threshold," Being Home: A Book of Meditation by Gunilla Norris
Joyce Rupp describes this crossing,
"I go to the dwelling place of God.
It is her light that lets me see
far beneath the surface of life.
When I connect this inner seeing
with my outer seeing,
my world takes on a different meaning."
