Doors and Windows

The door opened. Should I walk through it? Liz was busy trying to get in another way. I was reminded of the saying, "If God closes a door, He opens a window." Doors are ways to go through, windows ways to see through and open windows bring air as well as vision. However, open windows without screens also let in bugs and dust--as do doors. So, if you go through an open door it should behoove you to close it behind you. Closing the door prevents easily going back and can for a time, make you feel trapped and vulnerable in this new space. Choices now need to be made.

1. Should I stay near the door?
2. Should I look for a window?
3. Should I explore the room?
4. Should I sit on the floor feeling sorry for myself and wondering what to do next?
5. Should I look for another way out?
6. Should I try to discover why I am in this particular room and make the best of it?

So many questions to answer. Life can be a lot like a murder mystery. You must examine the clues to discover the chain of events, thus eventually what or who caused the murder. Sometimes, for a period of time, the murder is in cold case status, then amazingly a piece of evidence ties everything together resulting in a viable solution.

I don't know why my life has turned out the way it has, but maybe that "missing piece of evidence" will turn up soon and I'll have an answer. In the meantime, I will continue to look for open doors and windows and for how I can best spend my time where I am until a door or window opens for me.
