The Golden Threshold

1. Write about a personal memory of a morning where the light felt different—perhaps a soft pink or a pale gold glowing at the edge of the room. You might start by describing how this light touched a single, ordinary object in your space, like a glass of water or the corner of a table. 2.

Imagine a quiet, soaring space where the ceiling is so high it feels like a cathedral made of air and paper. In this place, introduce a small, dusty moth drifting toward a high window, and describe its erratic, playful movement as it nears the glass. 3.

Begin to weave these two worlds together at a threshold where the memory ends and the imagined space starts. You could try finishing with a single line about what happens when you decide to step across that line into the gold light.
