This photo is an example of a concept we learned in a Celtic Spiritual Warrior workshop, called Liminal Space (hosted by http://www.staubleadership.com/). In psychology, "liminal" is defined as the threshold moment between sensation and loss of sensation (or perception). In Celtic spirituality, it is the physical (or philosophical) sacred space between any 2 states of being-ness.
All doorways, shorelines, edges of roads or meadows, edge of atmosphere & outer space, or any transitional space is Liminal and "extra" sacred. There are liminal spaces in time too, so sunset and dawn are powerful times, as are the seasonal equinox dates on the calendar. Your birthday or wedding day are liminal times! In those special, sacred spaces, like beaches and surf, it is believed that magic, healing and powerful creation begins. So, having a wedding at sunset on the beach is a POWERFUL way to begin your new life! Find more liminal spaces in your world, or come see ours. :)
Another interesting thing….notice the "rippled" bottom edge of the photo? It's actually the weathered grain wood railing of the pier. In that light and timing with the water bubbles, it became a slight optical illusion. Hey! Another liminal space created in the photo! Enjoy, friends.
