Knock and it Shall be Open

The passage came

within a dream,

in barely a whisper,

an echo of long ago

reminding me…

open the door,

move away the fear,

go where you dare not,

follow the path,

and there-

I would find you,

your hand,

your heart to hold.

    >open the door,
    move away the fear,
    go where you dare not< This is what I started doing six years ago. It's amazing how far you can travel (and on so many levels) when you let go of fear.

    heyyyyy
    I have this door knocker !
    I hung it upside down (so the hand hangs out) next to the bathroom mirror to hold a small towel across.
    Just sharing !
    Love, S.
