First Threshold

You’ll need a broom – any broom, doesn’t need to be ceremonial.

Start at the center of your space and sweep outward, toward the doors. Do the whole place if you have time, or just the rooms you live in most. You’re moving things out, not just tidying.

When you reach the front door, sweep the last of it across the threshold and out. Then stand in the doorway for a moment — inside and outside at once — and say:
“What wintered here and is finished, go.
What’s mine and still growing, stay.”

Leave the door open a minute if the air is warm enough. Let the season in.
