The Gateway that leads from the known into the unknown

I am taking the starting point at the door. That is where the story begins, the symbolic journey. I am not to open the door yet, maybe it is not to be opened just yet. Maybe it is the symbol of my past. And because it is locked, it should perhaps stay like that. The past is past, there is nothing I can do to change what is there, no matter how hard I stare at it. What is done is done. Let's say that it is for now. The locked door is my past. And I have spent too much time trying to change what cannot be changed. It makes sense to me.

I turn away from the door and face a new gateway.

"Gateways symbolizes the scene of passing from one state to another, from one world to another, from the known to the unknown, from light to darkness. Doors open upon the mysterious, but they have a dynamic psychological quality for they not only indicate a threshold but invite us to cross it. It is an invitation to a voyage into the beyond."

Walking through this gate I turn away from my past and walk into the unknown, from the mundane to the sacred. I guess in a way I see this as my own fairy tale. I am the teller of my of tale... Maybe that is where I am going this summer. Looking at myself as the main character. Being the I of the story. Maybe that is what I need to do before I can tell the tales of others. So I step through the gateway to explore, to journey into the unbelievable. One day at a time. Take the adventure as I have never dared to do it before. I have never accepted that I wanted to tell my own story first, talk about the places and people I dream about, the adventures I dream about, not as another person, but as me. Maybe that is why I never dared to go further, because I felt I shouldn't talk about me. But maybe not it is different. I feel more courageous now.

I am not sure where it will lead me but I found this picture and it kind of trigger me. Maybe I will use it to visualize where to go next... Three doors, three possibilities. It also reminds me of the wardrobe that the Pevensie siblings walk through into Narnia. They walk through a door into another world. I will think more about this. Most definitely. I really feel that I have a something that appeals to me there... And I definitely walk from the known into the unknown...
