“I’ve got the key to my castle in the air, but whether I can unlock the door remains to be seen.”
― Louisa May Alcott
.
I always lock my door,
not to keep people out,
although that too sometimes,
but to make sure that I remember to take my key,
when leaving the house.
.
I do this because when I didn’t,
I would cross the threshold and merrily shut the door behind me,
only to afterwards be struck by the thought that,
I had forgotten something,
which I only remembered when I tried to get back in.
.
The next object in our Objectivity challenge,
is the key,
which is very symbolic for us at this time,
as we have just received the keys to a new experience.
.
I hope I don’t lock myself out inadvertently,
due to being always a little gleefully green.

“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”
― Frederick Buechner
