Port Reyes National Seashore, California

I once read
about how if you stood at the sea-shore
and could observe
where exactly the sea and the land met
and keep looking
and looking
deeper ever deeper
even with an electron microscope
you'd never find that liminal space
because there's always an infinitesimal
and elusive difference between this.
And that.
Just thinking about this puts me in liminal space.
And so.
Never ending is a place
of mystery, loveliness and
challenge to the status quo:
nothing ever begins or ends.
* Answer: Because Sally, smart and sassy siren that she is, likes to provide her wares in liminal space: with one foot in this and one foot in that.

About Beth Patterson
The Virtual Tea House website became 'word-ripe' when, over a cup of jasmine green, I realized that the web has an expanding part to play in the communal aspects of spiritual growth.
With a master's degree in religion, my career spans 20 years in end of life care and I currently work in the field of child abuse intervention and advocacy.
Here in beautiful Central Oregon, my spiritual homes of the high desert and the mountains are both in proximity. And for good measure, four hours away is Grandmother Ocean and the stunning Oregon Coast.
I'm making decent progress on the goal set by my mother early on: she taught us that the goal of humanity should be to become ever-more eccentric, i.e. more fully human.
Entering the 'forest-dweller' phase of life, I am honored to host the Virtual Tea House for all who wish to explore how our lives are enriched and made new a thousand times each day by the spirituality we embody. Exploring this engagement together is the purpose of the Virtual Tea House.
Welcome! Let's have a cup of virtual tea together and share what brings us joy, what we are being taught by life, how we are leaning into the Big Questions posed to us each day in sometimes 'distressing disguises'.
