An Ode to Doors

Abby Dougherty
Nov 18, 2023

I love doors and doorways. They speak to me — their balance in transitioning from one space to another — every time you move through a new doorway, you are given an invitation to become — whatever that means for you in the moment.

A new adventure hides behind every door.

An invitation for radical acceptance of the moment and this experience we call being human or alive.

What does it mean to be in a consent state of transition? The doors know.

To walk through the doors and recognize your own authentic nature.

Transition into the stream of equanimity.

Awaken.

Within.
