Definition
Of, relating to, or situated in a penumbra; partially shaded; existing in the borderland between light and dark.
Etymology
Adjective form of penumbra (Latin: almost-shadow). The twilight zone between knowing and not-knowing.
Kelly Says
The adjective for ALMOST-SHADOW! Penumbral thinking is the grey zone between certainty and doubt. Most of life is penumbral — not fully lit, not fully dark, but somewhere beautifully in between! 🌗
