I was walking around the neighborhood with Lulu one day and noticed this blue door.
It was just one of those things that make you stop and pause for a second to reflect how such a random sighting can offer insight to something you are experiencing in life. The reason why I stopped to do a double-take, is that at first glance it seems like the door is standing on its own, not really serving as a doorway to anything. To the casual passerby it was a random blue door.
In my mind I pictured a random door, standing alone in a desert scene. It was almost like a music video. It made me think about how people perceive doors, in the conventional sense. When you approach any building or place, your natural instinct is to head straight for the door since that is almost always the single point of entry. So what would you do when you are faced with a door and nothing else? Disregard it and just walk by? Or would you feel compelled to walk through the doorway?
Most people think of doors and doorways as points of entry or openings to other spaces. I've been feeling recently that doors are more of a "closing" mechanism, moreso in the sense that a lack of a door fosters a sense of insecurity for me. Maybe this developed over the last few months because I don't have a door to my bedroom and always go to sleep with a sense of discomfort, a figurative fear of things spilling out of my room.
What am I getting at?
