Poet David Whyte offers the challenging observation that some of us walk through doors that life offers while others never fully choose to do so.
Whyte writes, some are “always at the gates of existence, but never bravely and completely attempting to enter, never wanting to risk ourselves, never walking fully through the door.”
As 2023 draws to a close is there a doorway you want to walk through and haven’t done so yet?
The doorway of a project, an idea, a career change, pilgrimage, a new relationship? An emotional doorway such as happiness, joy, contentment, forgiveness?
What might be waiting on the other side of that threshold?
Wouldn’t it be interesting to take the risk, as Whyte suggests, and go and find out?
