"It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the
key thresholds: to take your time; to feel all varieties of presence that
accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear
the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross"
John O'Donohue
Apartment buildings often have metal fire escapes attached on the side. The intention is for people to use these multitude of iron steps to seek safety if the apartment is on fire. An apartment dweller would freakishly descend the rickety contraption in hopes of safety.
We all have a mental fire escape in the back of our minds. It may be used to flee family discord or withdraw from trauma. We may also have a deliberate route to escape if we need to physically remove ourselves.
Memories of fire escapes in the city, bring to mind individuals crawling out of an apartment window to sit outside for fresh air. Utilizing thresholds are important while seeking guidance and Divine connection. A discovered passage way assists us in reaching the solitude where the quiet voice calls us forward.
