some doors are too beautiful
dressed in more splendor
than anything they could hide
too inviting of real disappointment
too charming a front for interior bliss
but the only way to know
is to open and enter
some doors are too beautiful
dressed in more splendor
than anything they could hide
too inviting of real disappointment
too charming a front for interior bliss
but the only way to know
is to open and enter

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)

You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

rejuvenatement - not retirement
Doorways..the edge defining the inside and outside. Step in or walk out. A barrier like a guard to check ;who moves in or desires to exit. The door a surface to knock and peep 🙂 Glass, wooden, steel..large small or sleek..

I often sit on my front porch in the evening as lights are turned on in the homes of my street and wonder; what joy or sadness is to be found behind each curtained window? Well done, and as always you inspired me to write what I think.

Ah I love doors, so evocative. I have taken many photos and drawn many doors in my time, something very mysterious and intriguing about them. Great little piece 😉
Have a great weekend

Ahhh yes–the risk of opening doors, pretty or otherwise. Might find a welcoming lady, or a raging tiger.

This takes me back to France where I still feel is the land I should call home. Doors are – for the main part – enticing things there. Wonderful.
