Secret Doors

"Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret." Ralph Waldo Emerson

SECRET = kept from knowledge or view

elude observation or detection

mysterious, underground

clandestine, discreet, sly

Through a series of events I learned very early in life that anything material can be destroyed or forcefully taken away.   The rebel in me figured out the only thing of value that I had full control over was my heart and spirit.  I began to build layers to fiercely protect and guard my treasures.

Recently, I noticed when I'm around children the complete opposite happens. I have no walls.  Their honesty and innocence compels me to open the secret door to reveal the tenderness in my heart through my eyes and my smile.  I get an instant reaction every single time without fail.  They want to bathe in my light and I wish with all my heart and soul I could protect their innocence forever.

The next time you want to pass through a secret door spend some time with children. They will teach you to find that light deep inside you carried so easily as a child.
