Between The Conscious And The Unconscious...
- Kabir (1440-1518)

Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put up a swing:

All earth creatures, even supernovas, sway between these two trees,
and it never winds down.

Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million, also the wheeling sun and moon;

Ages go by, and it goes on.

Everything is swinging: heaven, earth, water, fire, and the secret one slowly growing a body.

Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds, and it made him a servant for life.

Translated by Robert Bly

   Welcome to Creative Threshold! This site is an invitation for you to explore the meaning and
   purpose of your life through your own creativity; an opportunity to imagine or re-imagine unlimited
   possibilities. A threshold can symbolize many things - a gate, a door, an entrance, a sill, the end of
   a runway, a boundary. But, most importantly, a threshold needs to be crossed in order for change
   to be effectuated.

   In the words of the Persian poet, Kabir, "Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has
   put up a swing..." It is my hope that once you enter this site, you will leave with something more than
   when you crossed over!
