Re: Liminal places

Okay, and do letters in the upper case mean ANY 'thing' to you? All sorts of things, depending on context. Emphasis, for example, or acronyms, if you're talking about words written entirely in capitals. Okay, thank you VERY MUCH for your Honest and OPEN ANSWERS here. They are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED....

Re: Liminal places

Okay thanks, and how do you interpret that change in pitch to mean, EXACTLY? Okay. I interpret it to mean that the original text is written in upper case.

Re: Liminal places

Okay, thanks for this. Does the change in pitch sound, to you, like yelling, emphasizing, or some 'thing' else? Just a slight raising of pitch. Okay thanks, and how do you interpret that change in pitch to mean, EXACTLY? I only usually go back to check spelling or punctuation if something seems unf...

Re: Liminal places

That word was NEVER in reference to 'you', "maia", but was in reference to ALL of 'you', older human beings, instead. Or, in more general terms, the 'human adult'. By the way, and in what ever way you are able to read, see, or hear my words, are you at all able to detect when my words are...

Re: Liminal places

A GREAT example of 'this' is 'you', older people, DO seem VERY MUCH to care MORE ABOUT 'you', and 'the body', that is; 'the boundary', than the ACTUAL 'Thing', WITHIN. 'you', people, are, literally, MORE CONCERNED ABOUT 'physical feelings' and/or 'being hurt/internal feelings', than 'you' are ABOUT...

In so many ways we seem to care more about boundaries than the actual things they enclose.

Re: Liminal places

There are some actual liminal places that I love. One of those is the moment before I step into a small boat so small I can feel it move to displace water beneath me.

Re: Liminal places

I looked through everything. I can't get a closeup of the wall, someone drone shot it, so know the rough layout of the church. In a photo I'm not even sure belongs to the church I see a modern brick wall, and it has a grave with tilted slate slabs over it that are falling in. It's by the wall. Abou...

Re: Liminal places

I looked the place up. The monolith is the most photographed. The sarcophagus and wall is not shown at all, and it appears to lack the sort of elevation that is measurable by something like Google maps would show, and lack the motivation to geolocate it at 5 AM in the morning to see if a slope does...

Maybe. More work needs to be done there.

Re: Liminal places

It is more likely they built the cemetery wall much more recently and used the visible sarcophagus as a obvious boundary point for the wall. Good chance many are buried outside the wall in now unmarked Graves. There are not that many boundary temples I'm aware of. In general yould use the Rajamanda...

Re: Liminal places

Temple spaces in Archaic Greece were deliberately set at the borders between 2 poleis . Each polis would use such ritual spaces to meet their neighbouring polis , at which localities sporting contests grew. Aristotle called sport, "War without the killing". Such liminal spaces were about ...
