As I was leaving the office of my spiritual teacher, she said, “I’ll stay up here and will listen if the door is locked.” And all I heard was, “I will listen if the door is locked.” I paused and looked up. Laughing, I turned to her and said, “Now, there’s a great metaphor of life.”
“That’s good. I will listen if the door is locked,” my teacher repeated.
“And guess what?” I shouted up.
“The door is open,” my teacher said.
“Yes, the door is open.” The door is open.
And so it is.
