Doors can open us up to the most wonderful and unpredictable things. They are the threshold between two places. They can be the key to you being in two places at once.
I remember telling an elementary school teacher of mine that I could be in two places at one. Impossible! They said. So, with my little dress and bow in my hair I walked to the classroom door – opened it – and stood with one foot in the hallways and the other foot in the classroom. See? I’m in the hallway and in the classroom! Together we all laughed at that, a big smile on my face because of the silliness and yet somehow the genius of it all. I like to believe if you can think it, nothing is impossible. Maybe it’s more of the fact that we just haven’t reached where we potentially could be or need to be with technology to get us there, to make the impossible possible. If you think about it like this, your front door is where your house ends and your front yard starts, eventually leading you further into the outside world, same with your garage door and your closet door. Even the doors on display at your local hardware store…what if when you opened them you didn’t see shelves or racks behind them or see the next door in the assembly? What if you opened it to something else? In Narnia, the wardrobe door led them to another world. Mr. Thomas! In Monsters Inc. their doors led them to a child’s room so they could scare them. In Coraline, the little door in her house took her to a strikingly similar place she had known. But that’s not all doors have to offer. They can bring happiness and sadness. They offer the gift of a visitor – a friend, family member, lover, longtime no-see-er. They bring news that you sometimes wish never to hear. I know you’re probably wondering what’s up with the door speech? LOL! My parents do this thing where when one leaves without the other – the one who remains – stands at the front door and waves them off. Sort of a be careful, I miss and love you send off. Such a sweet gesture and something that the one looks for when they have to leave alone. I’ve even found myself doing it. When they leave without me, I run to the front door and stand. What makes it even funnier for me is usually I’m there without my glasses on and since I can’t see without them, I could be waving at the Easter Bunny for all I know. HA-HA! I do enjoy being at the front door though when they think I am still sleeping. Surprise on you!! Just some food for thought to keep that mind wondering about the simplest things. Also I watched a one and a half year old try to push the lever of a riding mower back into drive once he saw it put back into park. Then he tried to turn the ignition key back on after he watched it being turned off. I tell ya...they are SPONGES at that age! I'm still in shock! I hope you and your families are doing well and staying safe out there! As always, I appreciate ya! 😊 Comments are closed.
