The Blue door
My head is very clear today. Not jumbled or stifled or even unclear. If I focus on the things that are important to me, I will come through fine. This is not a race or a competition, I feel it is an opportunity to open doors that have been closed to me for a very long time. Which doors have been closed to me? Well there’s a door which is coloured light blue with a white door bell and a black knocker. It is regal looking as if it belongs in a palace. I’m not sure what’s behind that door, but I am very interested to open it and have a good look.
I’m pushing it now, but it is stiff and I really have to put my whole body against it. It gives and flies open! The room is dark, but once my eyes are focused, I can see shapes. There is a heart. It is red and pulsating and vibrant. It fills the room. The glow of promise and dreams gets brighter and it has a perfume: one that I do not recognise. But it makes me want to breathe in deeply until every part of my being is filled with it, and I look around in wonder to see what else there is within these walls.
I feel a sadness that I am only now discovering what lies behind the light blue door. But tinged with that is hope, hope that this room with its pulsating heart will always be available to me. I close the door, and touch my own heart: it leaps with recognition and approval.

This is very good. We often are too afraid of stepping through doors and miss out on opportunities that challenge and change us. If we aren’t growing in life, we are shrinking.

Thank you very much! It is absolutely true what you say. Fear can be paralysing and prevents us from growing. I am pleased that my observations have been met with approval and I hope that, that in turn will help others who read this.

Yes!!! It so is. Actually you had done an earlier sketch with a blue door that I was thinking of asking your permission to use. But then I waited, and this one came along and it was so absolutely in tune with my post, I couldn’t believe it! 🙂 x

Curiosity, apprehension, eagerness, all were the emotions while reading this and wondering, What is behind that door? Maybe the emotions I just described

YES! All those emotions and more. We must not live in fear if at all possible. Or allow our emotions to prevent us from living the fullest life we can. We should not close the door on all the opportunities that life offers. Thank you!
