The Threshold of Remembering: Death, Memory, and the Body’s Quiet Knowing

In the quietude of a stillpoint, where time seems to pause, something deeper speaks—an invitation to listen to the often-overlooked archetype of Death. But death, in its true essence, is not an end. It is a threshold, a space between what has been and what is yet to come, offering the opportunity for renewal and transformation.

Through the lens of the Tarot’s Death card, we explore how death is tied to memory, release, and resurrection. We look at the paradox of forgetting, how the body cradles what the mind has discarded, and the quiet return of what we thought lost.

This essay dives into how the body remembers what the mind forgets and how we can embrace death—not as a disappearance, but as the place where we can retrieve forgotten parts of ourselves.
