1032 TWINKLE TWINKLE—REVISITED 26 Door in the Wall

I once read a book titled, The Door in the Wall
I read it as a child
I don't remember the story
I only remember the title
I have a self protective defensive wall as do you

All people have defensive walls
All defensive walls have doors
All doors have locks
All locks open and close
All locks, which open and close, jam from time to time

Locks jam for many reasons
Locks may remain jammed when a key fear goes unnamed
Locks, which remain jammed, may indicate closed mind sets
Locks may tighten when the mind feels pressured to open
Locks unjam when readiness comes from within

I work to remember the importance of readiness, all around
I work to remember different perspectives
I work to remember that patience is a virtue for sound reason
I work to remember that the only lock I can unjam is my own
I work to remember to open the door in my wall to welcome insight

Common sense suggests that though my door is open, my mind tires
Common sense suggests that a tired mind grows quietly contemplative
Common sense suggests a contemplative mind identifies personal growth
Common sense suggests a sense of change taking place within me ...
Common sense suggests not knocking on a closed door, overlong ...

I know myself to be an open door
I know myself to be an open ear
I know myself to be a self respecting woman
I know myself to be eager to embrace change for the better
I know myself to be addicted to hope, mutual respect and personal growth

Today, I am an open door but not a human doer
Today, I am more than a positively focused human being
Today, I am true to myself, through and through, though once I was not
Today—as with every day—I consciously choose to be your friend
Today—as with every day—I hope you'll freely choose to be mine :)
