Love Opens Doors

“Love opens the doors into everything, as far as I can see, including and perhaps most of all, the door into one’s own secret, and often terrible and frightening, real self.” 
― May Sarton
 When the door to love is locked, you must consider other opportunities. The door to love can be locked by different expectations,  cultural mores, or language. The door to love can be locked by fear to reveal the truth or by it being the wrong time. Rumi said these words:

At night, I open the window and ask
the moon to come and press its
face against mine.
Breathe into me.

Close the language-door and
open the love window.
The moon
won't use the door, only the window.
The poet, May Sarton recognized the need to  unlock our own secrets to experience love. Rumi uses the metaphor of the unlocked window.  Sometimes the door itself is love.
