Life is a Series of Doorways


 Life is a series of passages
Of doorways
That are opened and closed
The choice is always yours
Of whether to enter
Or bypass the doorway
At times the choices

Are clear
And it is easy
To enter the doorway
And navigate the passage
Other times
The choices are not so easy
As to whether
To enter or bypass the door
To explore the passage
Beyond the door
The choice may be easier
Not to enter the door
Not to enter the unknown
Yet it is by no means
Always the best choice
Walking the passage
To the yet unopened door
Often leads to
New challenges
Growth
Development
To new experiences
And adventures
Which would not have been experienced
Encountered and lived
Had that door not been opened
And the passageway explored
To open
Or not to open
And how far
To walk through the doorway
Are always
Personal choices to be made
Trust needs to be invoked
Decisions wrestled with
The scales go back and forth
As to whether to
Enter or not
The choice is yours
For many passages.
Yet other passages
Will not be ones of your choosing
These could be thrust upon you
Or happen in a gradual way
Over time
There is always one constant
Life is never static
Change is a constant
Fact of life
And it is the ability
To be able to bend with the changes
That helps to navigate
The passages in an easier manner
Resistance always makes the journey
More difficult
More cumbersome
And harder than it needs to be
Knowing where to go with the flow
Knowing when to proceed
And knowing when to stop
Are key elements
In exploring the passages
You will surely encounter
As you travel
On the journey
Of loving
Of living
Of being
