when fear receded
between doubt and believing
love trumped everything
if only every choice in life
appeared before us as a remarkably welcoming door;
bathed in light to ensure we would
walk through the threshold that would
encompass every ones highest and best good.
that easy you say?
why not.
sometimes it's just a matter of slowing down,
closing our eyes and feeling with our hearts,
asking our true selves,
is this the door to expansion,
staying true,
peace,
wholeness,
infinite possibilities?
is this the door that plants us firmly in the
house of belonging;
the holy threshold where
love trumps everything?

Thank you Rebecca for your wise words that resonate in my heart forever... I love you dearly and so appreciate this circle of haiku that ripples out into the world... XOXOXO

Your words are serendipitous! Today I have a heavy heart standing before many doors, which one to go through? I must trust and my ask my 'true self' the questions you have posed to reveal which door! Thank you and hugs. x

No doors before me that I know of, but I still appreciate your words. Thank you.

Beautifully put, i have always loved door images, so many possibilities represented, and yours is wonderful to dwell on this morning! Thanks!

That is profound wisdom. The process is simple, yet society has bombarded us with the alternative. Makes me think this is what John Lennon had in mind when he said that we could "Imagine".
Much peace sent your way to sooth your beautiful soul.

So very wise, your words this morning! Every moment is a door to expanding, to growing the love in one's heart. May every door you open let the Light shine on you!

So beautifully expressed Rebecca, may we all feel welcomed in the doorway that is every moment.

I have always loved the "another door opens" concept, but the way you put it...love trumps everything...is so clear and true. Yes, it would be nice if it were so simple...but really, if we could get out of our own way, it is! Beautiful!

{{ you knew i would }}
if only
if only
all doors came
with teeny*tiny windows

we could look thru them
a wee bit
before
opening ...

Just so beautifully and simply stated Rebecca...
I am drawn to this blue door and know it would be the right choice
x..x

What you say is so true,Rebecca
obvious really,
common sense.
But you know the thing about common sense...
we have to be reminded
to choose love
over fear.
Extraordinary photo...
blue and green door
Earth Door.

Oh, that reminds me of many of the palazzo doors in Venice. Um - *is* it a door in Venice? if so, what magical mysteries may lie behind it! City of my dreams and enchantments where I have had such adventures! (Now you have enticed me into wanting another one!)

Whether it is easy or not to choose which door to open....we must always follow the wisdom of our hearts. My LOVE to you dearest Rebecca.
Posted by: gemma | August 23, 2013 at 09:03 AM
dear roz,
you are so perceptive! a friend came to visit and share photographs from her recent trip to venice. i was drawn to this blue timeless door, where one must step up from the water of their subconscious to enter and move towards the light of welcoming.
she generously shared her photo so i could include it here. late last night another friend called so honestly share a current situation where she wished in retrospect she had made other choices.
through both friends generosity this post was born. there are many times we stand on the bottom steps, feet submerged in murky water still striving for the light. i just love the line that came to me while comforting my friend, love trumps everything! so to all my friends, a gentle reminder to trust your heart, to walk with light.

Lovely!!!
Reminds me of a card my aunt sent me years ago when I was going into the hospital. It said
"Fear knocked at the door, but no one answered."

love the blue door with green (algae?)! standing before it right now, I hesitate to walk through because I am praying that the Holy Spirit will fill my head with the right words to say to a beloved granddaughter.

that is a lovely thought, Rebecca
