Chris Estes, Turner describing liminal action

Turner describes liminal action as in-between kind of place. "Liminality is not only transition but also pontentially, not only "going to be" but also "what may be," (Turner 3). Liminal action is also like being removed from socail structure, and leveled to a homogeneous state. During pilgrimage, you are doing a liminal action. If you were on the Noland trail, you could be experiencing the in-between of the sacredness of the trail, and possibly trying to figure out who you are. If you were hiking the Noland trail, you would indeed be removed from social structure. You don't want any structure when you're out there. Many people decide right when they finish high-school that they're going to college. There is a lot of pressure for kids to go to college these days because of creating job opportunities. This pressure to go to college or not creates that in-between feeling of not knowing what to do. You are at a homogeneous level state that you are content with what you have done in school, but should you pursue it more?
