Today, new meanings, new understanding, and new hope are born. After yesterday’s “and the wisdom to tell one from the other,” there is a desire to exhale—and inhale again. To stop endlessly digging into ourselves, searching for meanings, and trying to figure out what is right and what is wrong. To stop fighting with ourselves and with the world—and simply live.

And the Magical Door opens this possibility for us. As if we had been running and running, and finally arrived—we can now calmly look back at the distance we’ve covered and enjoy the result. No more rushing about—the past is in the past, the future has not yet happened, and we are sitting on the porch, looking out at the sea. Let it rage and roar loudly around us; we can simply observe quietly—inside us, there is PEACE.

All the monsters of the dark time have been faced, defeated, tamed. We can let them off the leash if we ever need or want to. But somehow we don’t want to at all—peaceful dogs at our feet suit us much better. At least for now. As for what comes next—we won’t look ahead just yet. Let’s savor the path already traveled.

May all doors open for you!
