Places

Tunnel

Passage with one direction

What it often means

Tunnels mark a passage you must complete to reach the other side. They can be intense and narrowing, but they are designed to end. The light at the end is more than metaphor — it is structural.

When it tends to appear

  • In the middle of a hard transition
  • When you cannot turn back
  • When persistence is being asked of you

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    How far through were you?

  2. 2

    What is on the other side that you are walking toward?

  3. 3

    What would help you keep moving today?
