The Liminal Phenomenon

Forests are complex resources constantly undergoing change and are examples for succession and coexistence. To understand  the experiential super power a forest owns one must pause and relate to its synergy. Thus a threshold between the civilized and the wild forests could evoke a sense of manifestation. Talking about analogies forests are nothing less than divine spaces or natural shrines. The idea of "The Liminal Phenomenon", is henceforth created to inform the fact that forest is a biome and is invigorative in itself. Hence introducing an threshold embarks the journey into the forest, considering it as a divine natural sanctum.
