Beautiful image to accompany your writing. I think of thresholds as powerful portals too. I grew up with many road trips on summer holidays through long mountain tunnels that you couldn’t see the other side of before you were mostly through.
In the UK, our roads and railways mostly go around things rather than through them. Emerging from a mountain tunnel into an entirely different landscape must be an extraordinary experience.
The picture is of a doorway in the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, by the way. Extraordinary for entirely different reasons.
