Need wordle, crossword specialist to find a word or words.

Essentially, I'm looking for very specialized words that describe transitions.

Like, transitions between the seasons. Transitions between night and day. And even a word that I swear I read somewhere. It is that space between plants, where plants recognize the other one's territory, so they automatically respect each other's space.

Any other transition words would be welcome.

Thank you!

1. Liminal - relating to a transitional stage of a process.

2. Thank you!

That's a good one.

3. I found a sadly appropriate example for our times.

But the issue is even bigger: Uncertain times abound, in our organizations and in our society, and as a result many of us are having what are known as liminal experiences.

28. 30 years ago, I disturbed a skunk (in the twilight)...

who ran briskly toward me on its front feet, its hind end elevated and aimed at me.

I had no idea how fast I could move.

29. I had a mother and three babies walk over the toe of my boot once.....

and never gave me a glance.

Fortunately, I remembered the rule: Skunks ALWAYS have the right-of-way.

17. Twilight?

[Harker]

18. I wind up thinking of him pretty often.

Aside from the enduring echoes from the Zone and a couple from "Night Gallery", my new wife and I live approximately equidistant from Syracuse, where he was born, and Binghamton, where he spent much of his youth. I think a trip to Binghamton in his honor would be a day well spent.

Twilight Zone themed wedding, by chance?

I think it's all the better for being heard rarely, even though there's two pretty good opportunities every day.

9. some ideas

I used thesaurus and did a search for synomyms for transitional

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Thank you. i like the list.

I also read up on how plant communicate with each other. Maybe what I remembered was a word that described the edges of the shadows cast on the ground between two trees?

[Marthe48]

11. A Japanese word for light and shadow cast by trees

komorebi

Penumbra is the incomplete shadow cast on sun or moon during an eclipse

[vanamonde]

16. Segue

1. To make a transition directly from one section or theme to another.

21. 2. Quite unlike a Segway, for some. n/t

24. I briefly rode one once, around a parking lot.

It seemed to me to be a clever device that could be useful to some. I understand that they stopped making them a few years ago.

[Harker]

25. Was it difficult to get the hang of it?

I always pictured myself going down hard.

[vanamonde]

26. As I recall it wasn't difficult once mounted.

Carefully getting on I guess was the trick.
