Day 4 - 63 -- Doorways

The day has had sun and some wind along with cold temperatures. It was a great day to stay indoors and do housework and some grading of assignments. These activities provided time to reflect. Dreams and thoughts of doorways have been present recently. These could represent unmade decisions. I am reminded of a photo I took years ago in a small village in rural China. It showed a series of doorways each leading to the next -- one I took thinking that it was a look into the past and the future. I must find that again. The plan had been to frame a print -- maybe now is that time.

Dreams have been odd and sometimes unsettling of late. There are some external forces in play that may be putting pressure on internal forces. Doors are interesting metaphors. Are they meant to shut out something, let something in, or let something go? Pondering this today made me realize I often take photos of doors and gates when traveling. I'm drawn to them. Often I've wondered what is on the other side -- how is the outside world different from the inside world? Sometimes the doors and walkways are just pretty.

A song from an album I listened to often years ago seemed to fit the reflection on dream imagery. The lyrics are poetic and just a bit disjointed. The singer uses some odd phrasing that  accentuates this feeling. The keyboards and the guitar solo make me smile. Enjoy!
