Another intriguing photo prompt from Sue this week, and I got to educate myself too! What is Liminal, I asked myself?
Liminal is an English adjective, “on the threshold,” from Latin limen, plural limina, “threshold.” Liminality is the abstract noun formed from limina.
Thank you Wikipedia!
So… the photo…
And my tanka for this week.
Liminal
We’re on the threshold
Which adventure lies within?
Mystery indeed
An other-worldly portal
Or just a simple cavern?Ritu 2016

Thank you Janni! That’s tho thing about doors and entrances… Until you pass the threshold, you never know what may lay within!
