There is a state that is hard to name. When the old life no longer holds, but the new has not yet begun. You are not there — and not yet here. Modern language has few words for this. The ancients had them.
Mahura is the haze where the new is not yet visible, but the old no longer holds. The ancients said "Mahura has fallen" when a person left who they were but had not arrived at who they would become.
They did not see this state as brokenness. It is a threshold — the place where you are most alive, because you are not yet defined.
