When one door closes, another one opens; but we so often look so long and regretful upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. (Alexander Graham Bell)
The alarm bells rang and with a bang the door closed. Wasn't this what I had feared the most?
Left in the dark with four walls surrounding me looking for somebody to rescue me I thought I heard the singing of a lark.
Society had come along and sang her tempting song. I knocked on all her doors but a great force kept them firmly locked.
So I started to explore a land where not many people live anymore and soon discovered a door which I had never seen before.
I knocked and the door unlocked.
I felt the warm glow of a bright white light. A great force whispered Hello and everything was all-right.
(Brigitte Franssen)
