Staring at this photograph,
I’m struck by the irony:
The larger doors are open,
But the smaller door is locked…
My first response is that old saying,
About locking the barn door
After the horses have been stolen.
But it also speaks to me
Of the sometimes foolish ways
We protect our hearts,
Ignoring larger vulnerabilities,
And, at the same time,
Of the ways we can obsess over small details
While ignoring the bigger picture.
What is it that you see?
