Doors



Doors are a symbol of change.  We can enter, we can exit.  Often we think we know what is on the other side, but not always.  We open doors to new opportunities.  We close doors on the past.  We pass through these portals.  Some doors are unlocked.  Some doors deny us entry. Some doors test our strength to get them to open.  Other doors won't stay closed. Some doors we want to pry open.  Some doors we want to nail shut.  

I was fascinated by doors in Irish cities.  I have probably a dozen photos of doors that caught my eye.  

What does your door lead to?

  2. When one door closes, I often find a new window opens.

    Currently my door leads to the bathroom. You asked!

    1. When you are "busy" do you leave the door open or closed?

    2. Would you believe it close it even though I live alone???? It un nerves if Buster sits there and stares. Pervert.

  3. I have no idea what “my door” leads to, but the doors I’m looking at right now lead to a restaurant kitchen and toilets. That’s as profound as I’ll get.

    Doors lead to the unknown or what we know already. Not knowing what is on the other side of the door can be exciting.

  5. My, you are certainly waxing poetic today. I'm not waxing any poets. My door leads to an entryway with family photos on one wall, across from which is another door leading to a garage that has never seen a car in the eighteen years we've lived here.

    3. It is now 6:00p.m. here. Fifteen minutes ago my dogs were barking at the front door (see I worked door in there) as dogs are wont to do. No one knocked or rang the bell. We figured somebody was walking their dog out side. The dogs didn't stop barking. I looked through the ornate glass of my door pushing aside the dark curtain and saw a whole pizza meal just sitting there! Two pizzas, a side or two and a liter of soda! I was just about to eat my peanut butter ritz crackers and veg out watching The Towering Inferno. I looked for a receipt but there was none. I pushed aside my fear of talking to strangers and called the pizza place. Sure enough someone delivered it to the wrong house (duh). The address wasn't even remotely similar to mine. I performed my good deed of the day. Of course it was Domino's pizza. Any other pizza place and that meal would be accompanying me perving on Paul Newman and Steve McQueen at this very moment!

  6. If I am leaving ... My door leads to the hallway of the 6th floor of the senior residence I live in.
    If I am entering ... My door opens to a very short hallway that leads into my living room!
    I have a total of 3 entry/exit doors ... one to my bedroom that stays open! 1 to the bathroom that also stays open; and, 1 that opens to the hallway!

  7. When my husband is home, we sleep with the bedroom door open. When he is not home (rare), I either sleep with the door closed, or I sleep downstairs in a recliner so that I can hear "things." Our house is big and kind of creepy to be in alone.
