..of the door that swung open..

The sun is at its hottest while I am sitting on the bench waiting for the bus. I haven't had enough sleep that day given that everybody is busy for the hospital activities. I breathe for a while watching the dove tiptoeing on the swamp road after an evening of drizzle. It pause for a while and I was able to get a good shot from my DSLR. Returning back from where I was seated to get some rest while waiting, the sensored door on the other end of the corridor keeps on opening and closing upon sensing an attempt of passage. I was glued for the moment on that motion, forgotten my sister's voice who is the bearer of an unwanted news. The temperature outside from where I was seated  added to the overwhelming melancholy. Yet, I have chosen to stay at peace, to be strong, to be still; for no one will do it for me being away from my family. It feels like nothing is of existent at that moment but the door that was extravagant in opening and closing, and my heart that has chosen to beat in the fight of whatever it feels.

I sauntered many doors before.  And many set foot on mine. Our life is like a door. You have no control who will come neither you have the power to control who will go. Some will twist the knob open, peeking slowly head first and with a smile knocks you down head-over-heels. Some will never knock at all, and shattered your world upside down. Some will step a foot keeping it adjacent, only to find that another foot is ready to say goodbye. People in this world are really just passing by. You cannot trust even a familiar door. It can shut its back on you any moment. And in every closing door, tears surely will fall. Hearts surely get bruised. Strength surely gets tested. Character changes. Life is never be the same again. But as the law of Physics says that in every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Today, you might feel that a certain door of your life bang a big noise that spells out C-L-O-S-E. Someone could have left you without a goodbye, you could have lost a loved one, a proposed project that was turned down, a wanted position that was given to others. The door could had just been shut off on you. But there will always a moment that it will open again. For doors are not made for the purpose of exit. It was mainly created for entrance. New hands will soon hold the knob, new fist to knock and make a new sound, new face to peep and give a smile, new feet to walk with you in your traverse of life.

People are just mere motion. Anytime, they can stop. It's not our job to control the motion. Our only job is to trust the Sensor.


..and allow Him to do the impossible.
