the word of the day, and the days, is liminal. 

i think it's more in the vocabulary in this time, 

pertaining to a threshold or entrance, relating to a beginning or 

first stage of a process; inceptive; inchoative; marginal; insignificant. 

ah, what may have seemed insignificant may become quite significant.

it's a strange thought that everything will get much worse for us and that this will perhaps seem like a golden hour at the edge of the abyss.
