Corner View - Open Doors

Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - curated by Francesca, where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme. If you'd like to join in, please leave a link to your Corner View post in the comments at www.fuoriborgo.com, and be sure to visit other participants, too.

Doors

An open door says, “Come in.”
A shut door says, “Who are you?”
Shadows and ghosts go through shut doors.
If a door is shut and you want it shut,
     why open it?
If a door is open and you want it open,
     why shut it?
Doors forget but only doors know what it is
     doors forget.

I spent last week with family who welcomed me with open arms and open doors.  Father Winter opened his doors as well and we had a white Thanksgiving.



However, all good things must come to an end and no matter how much fun you had, when you are 464.8 miles into a 675 mile return trip...
 ...you are very happy to be welcomed back to your home state.

Happy corner-viewing!
