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.

Oh this is stunning! I love old statues and the chemical reaction that takes place through years and years of being exposed to the elements...beautiful!
Lovely words as well. Perfect for a Sunday morning.

>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.
