If you've been waiting for the dream to arrive from somewhere out there, this one's for you. And if you've been suspicious of the whole dream conversation to begin with, it's especially for you.

This week Deanna and Angela pick up where Re-Membering and Re-Claiming left off. Once you've gathered the pieces of yourself and claimed your own story, you end up standing somewhere new. There's a word for that place.

They get into the old English root of "threshold" and what threshing has to do with it, a Saturday morning on a side porch that turned into an honest question, a two-year-old who climbed the big slide, and a scene in a recent movie about sheep who stop at a road that isn't dangerous.

Along the way: why reinventing yourself is just restoring factory settings, what a hundred-year-old stained glass window with a BB-gun hole in it has that a new one doesn't, why the kind of attention this asks for is not vision board attention, and the three things Angela thinks possibility actually requires.

The episode closes with a short embodied reflection. Five questions, some room to breathe, nothing to fix.

Pull up a chair.
