Day 53 "The Keymaker"

I stand and watch as Danbox stands before a door with no handle, no keyhole and no way to open.

“Not all doors are passable” I say to him.

He stares back at me confused by this home without a way in.

I shrug with both my shoulders and hands to tell him that I do not know why this place has been locked with keyless doors. He turns back to face the door and I can sense him planning on how he will break this one down.

Some doors, simply put, are not yours to open in this lifetime, no matter how hard you try to break them down.

Some mysteries are not meant to be uncovered by you.

There are many doors with locks that have no keys to be crafted by you or your expectations.

But you will try, we all do.

Out of hope, out of ego, out of fear, for whatever reason we most certainly will feel pain and disappointment if we try for too long.

There is strength in knowing your limitations, and something to be said about leaving some mysteries locked behind these hidden doors.

There is something to be said about avoiding spending too much time trying to learn the secrets of how to craft this unknown key.

There is something to be said about leaving some doors unopened for life.

We must leave room for chance, for chaos, and for choosing a different door completely.

We must focus our attention on more worthwhile ambitions than trying to create a key for a door we know we were never meant to unlock.

There is no failure and no weakness in choosing to leave a door shut.

We must leave room for mystery, no matter how much we may desire to know what lies behind this aggravating door.

We must learn to accept that not all keys are meant to be crafted by our hands.

After a few moments the little box man turns and nods in understanding and acceptance, that there is power in knowing that not all doors lead us home.
