I saw a picture of a front door today.
We have been there
Through that door
Inside that home.

And I thought of another doorway.
We have been there
Through that door
Inside that home.

And I thought one
Always exciting and welcoming and warming
A place I (you?) want to return to again and again –

And the other
Always scary and dangerous and of “no return”
A place I (you?) wasn’t even sure I (you?) wanted to enter –

But I (you?) did.

And found it was no doorway at all.
Never had been. Never would be.

Just a doorway I (you?) had learned to create.
Just as I (you?) learned to stay on this side.

And learned to fear the “other side”.
And then found a lot of teaching.

Isn’t true.

You saw a picture of a front door?
Then see a picture of my front door.
There is no

“ALL ARE WELCOME”

You and me … ?
We don’t need one.
We are family

If you want to see a door –
See a door. But know this.

There is no key
And you can come and go
as you wish.

That’s what family does.
