"The full moon lit everything in silver. The town was asleep, but the frogs were wide awake-thousands of them-and their voices filled the night. It sounded like a million. A strong, unstoppable chorus rising into the sky, as if they were singing to the gods in heaven. Insects danced in the air like sparks. The river shimmered. I stood in the stillness, listening."
"My breath slowed. My thoughts stopped. I felt unbound-present, light, completely inside the moment. I felt like I could fly. Not in fantasy-but in my body. As if for one rare instant, the weight of everything had fallen away. I wasn't watching the world. I was part of it. Connected to the frogs, the moonlight, the pulse of life itself."
Thresholds are vivid turning points—experiences so intense they pull people out of routine and confront them with reality. Some thresholds arrive quietly as awe-filled moments; others arrive loudly as pain or loss. A moonlit river in San Ignacio, Baja California Sur produced a sacred sense of wholeness, slowed breath, and a felt unity with frogs, moonlight, and the pulse of life. Those moments can lift a person into presence and alter identity. Thresholds leave marks, demand responses, and shape who people become by calling them to change or deeper belonging.
