Hello and thank you, Michelle,
You know of course that all I did was clothe old wisdom in new attire. And opening new doors can be exciting and also daunting.
Thank you, dear friend, and all good wishes,
Eric

Hello Ankur, my friend
I think I spotted your hidden meaning there.
Yes, we’re quick to advise others while procrastinating before new doors ourselves. LOL.
Good one,

Good one, Rabirius,
That sometimes happens when we knock on the wrong door at the wrong time. LOL.
Cheers!

Hello Ian,
And when they are pleasant, we always feel that we did right 🙂

Well said, Eric. We must try new doors if we want different answers. Same doors, no change. But as Jane said, it does take courage to try something new and to be accepting to whatever lies behind that new door. I don’t normally link my poems, but your haiku evoked memories of an old poem. 🙂
Hello Lauren dear,
I combined your two comments complete with the link. I went back to the old poem and the trip was reflective.
Yes, Jane did hit the nail there.
Thank you for sharing,
Eric

Your observations are very true, Ina.
Nothing is wasted unless we chose to waste them.

Even the good Lord says, “knock and ye shall be answered”. If we don’t try, I reckon we become contented with the answer we have and will never find the greater answer possibly a “pot of gold” awaiting in one of the doors.
Very true, Windy dear
Quite often there waits a better answer;
Luv and hugz for a dear friend,

Oh yes, but who knows what new doors will bring. It takes courage to show up and try doesn’t it my buddy? This haiku of yours nails it. Hugs for you xXx <3

Reblogged this on Ray OF LIGHT 144.
Eric, you so perfectly state what is the absolute truth. If we never open doors, we will never find new and exciting experiences.

And you did it so beautifully, dear Eric. My memory certainly needs jogging more often than I’d like to admit.
Indeed! And one of the things we often say when we want to encourage others to try something new.

Well. Maybe I have opened the wrong doors too often then. 🙂
Good one Eric. And in some cases pleasant surprises.

Thanks, Eric, and another poignant haiku…
I think surprises come in many forms and even struggles enrich lives, though at a cost.

taking a new path
presents opportunities
for growth and learning
stick with what we know
boring and familiar
live life on repeat
Thanks for the philosophical head crunching this morning 🙂
