During my travels I came across a few signs that I felt had a meaning that was deeper than the intended purpose. See if you agree with me…
A warning of an extra large step into the bathroom, or a deeper message about the transitions in life? As Joseph Campbell said about thresholds, “With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him, the hero goes forward in his adventure until he comes to the ‘threshold guardian’ at the entrance to the zone of magnified power…Beyond them is darkness, the unknown and danger…The adventure is always and everywhere a passage beyond the veil of the known into the unknown; the powers that watch at the boundary are dangerous; to deal with them is risky; yet for anyone with competence and courage the danger fades.” Beware indeed.
