Day 4 - May 19, 2010 - A Closed Door

"Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be." -
Albert Einstein

When you see a closed door, you automatically wonder, "What's behind it?" Well, maybe not everyone is curious about the contents of a room or a building. I frequently am. Dublin is famous for its colorful array of entryways. You'll be hard pressed to think of a color that cannot be found on Dublin's doorsteps. Red, yellow, pink, green, blue, gray, black, orange... every door is different. Each one generally has a unique looking handle and brass knocker as well. What would a door be without a way to open it? A locked door is discouraging because we know its potential to be opened. Sometimes when you try to open it, the door may be locked. More often, when you manage to open the door, the results look differently than you imagined. Doors open and close all of the time. Does that discourage us from finding the right key to open them once more?
