A passageway is the point of exiting and entering giving access to different channels, roads or parts. A rite of passage is a noteworthy ritual of change in an individuals life. Such as pregnancy, birth and entering parenthood.
The passageway is a brief pivotal place where the journeyer can rest, regroup, as well as reflect and the journey thus far and the journey ahead.
