Liminality
“In anthropology, liminality is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete.”
Weary
Exhausted and emotionally worn out, distant and forgetful. Warping and twisting pleasant sounds into uncomfortable textures. Forcing chaos into peaceful bliss. That feeling of almost-sadness, grasping at memories drifting near the edge of your mind, almost gone from your conciousness.
Night Dive
Moonlit diving, phosphorescence, the ocean at night.
