Since I was a philosophy minor in college, I sometimes get carried away with deep thoughts. So as I was sitting in our front room early this morning drinking my coffee, something occurred to me. As I was gazing out our front door, which was recently fitted with a storm door, I suddenly realized what I had been missing all these years.
Our front door was solid wood with a tiny peep hole in it. Now, we can leave it wide open, as the new storm door creates the barrier to the outside world. This barrier is made of glass and the world beyond, that has always been there, is now visible.
The new door opens up the whole area. It brightens up the room with light. It lets us see what is happening in our front yard. We now can watch the twins running around and eating grass. The twins are this year's crop of bunnies that have taken residence under our front stoop. We can also watch the sprinklers go off. And, we can now see the birds as they dart around from tree to tree.
Life is a lot like that I guess. Good things are out there. Sometimes, all we need to do is have a new storm door put on in order to see them.
