The secret door




"I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside."

~ Rumi

It's about time I realized that doors do open. That every time it's not a wrong one. That finding the right key takes time. That sometimes there's a dusty alley of doors inside us that need to be opened first. So that the sunlight can creep in through some headstrong cobwebs, and certain caged birds can be freed.

  1. May all your secret doors open and take you to the happy land where caged birds are freed to take wing and sing.

  2. It’s so poetic. A beautiful post!! Yes, we have to open the doors inside us! It’s not easy, it takes time. It’s a fight or a journey... But it’s the only way to be free and happy.

    1. Rightly said, as always, dear Celine. To be free and happy, what else does one need?!

    How beautiful. Haven't we all often knocked from the inside, full of our own knowledge. As I ponder your writing I am looking towards the canal and my door neither opens outward nor inward but rather "slides".Hmmm, another coffee please!

    1. Thank you for the lovely comment, dear Helen. Sliding doors are much more interesting, I should say, for then one could just slide in and out of so many different lives! Reminds me of the film, "Sliding Doors".
