Welcome to Whispers From the Edge, my friend!
A monthly soul-letter for the in-between places.
Whispers From the Edge is a quiet series for tender thresholds and sacred transitions - for the moments when you’re not quite who you were, and not yet who you’re becoming.
These are gentle reflections from the liminal spaces - the pauses, pivots, and soul stirrings that defy definition. There are no clear answers here. Only presence. Only truth. Only a hand to hold at the edge of what’s next.
You are not alone in the in-between.
Come sit with me. Let’s listen to what’s whispering there.
If this space speaks to your soul, you’re warmly invited to subscribe and receive each new letter as it arrives.
And whether you subscribe or simply pass through now and then, thank you for being here. Your presence in The Garden is felt and cherished.
A Note About Voice Notes
These recordings aren’t meant to be polished or perfect. They’re simply me reading the post aloud, for those who prefer to listen instead of read. You may hear Zuzu singing (or griping) or DW milling about in the background, or even the hum of the a/c. Think of them as perfectly imperfect… a companionable voice to carry the words into your day.
Hello beautiful soul,
The air is beginning to shift… can you feel it?
The light lingers differently now, softer at the edges, as if the day itself is exhaling.
We stand in the pause between seasons, not quite summer’s brightness, not yet autumn’s descent.
At times, it can feel just a bit unsettling in this… in-between. But maybe this pause isn’t asking us to decide or define. Maybe it’s only asking us to rest in the space between breaths, to trust that the earth is already holding us.
✨ Paid Subscribers… if you’re short on time today, scroll down to the bottom of this post for your guided meditation. The full reflection is here whenever you’re ready to linger.
The Rhythm of Rooting
So often, when life feels uncertain, we search for answers, clarity, or the next step to steady ourselves. But nature reminds us that not all transitions are meant to be rushed.
Trees do not leap into letting go… they linger, their leaves slowly loosening in rhythm with the shortening days.
Roots grow quieter now, anchoring deeper before the cold.
You may feel scattered, unsteady, or undone in this season. You may wonder if something is wrong with you because you’re not moving forward with certainty. But what if this very pause is the sacred work? What if the confusion, the not-knowing, is the soil preparing to cradle us for what comes next?
This is the rhythm of rooting… not a quick grasp for stability, but a softening into something steady enough to hold us while we change.
Uncertainty as Medicine
What if your uncertainty isn’t failure, but a sign that your soul is in process?
Roots don’t rush to prove themselves; they deepen quietly, unseen.
This pause, this threshold, might not be an obstacle at all. It might be the medicine. A place where you are gently undone so that you can be re-woven in truth.
You are not behind, my friend. You are not broken. You are becoming. And even here, in the pause before descent, you are already held.
Wonder-Question: Held in the Pause
What if this pause you’re in isn’t waiting for you to act, but waiting to hold you?
What if the not-knowing is the soil’s way of saying: rest, you’re safe enough to soften here?
Save this question for the next time uncertainty feels heavy… it will meet you differently each time.
