The Lockless Door

Ever had those moments when you were convinced-- no, make that Definite, that everything was going your way? Map in hand, destination in sight then only to be horrified that you suddenly didn't know how to read the map? That the compass doesn't work, that you misinterpreted the signs? So you are left with nothing. Stuck in a place between the now and the future-- Which is basically nowhere at all. Asking for directions is pointless, because the people you ask are as clueless as you are-- wandering in their own vicious circles; of rings getting tangled, untangled, clashing then finally collapsing into unlinkable chains A conundrum, really. Imagine this map as a perfect puzzle image, shattered into a million jagged pieces in midair-- and they lie suspended there, floating, painstakingly taking forever to fall--- to--- the......... ground You try to catch them, but are hesitant, because the pieces are so sharp, angry leaving you with bleeding cuts all over and yet if you fail to do so, and they hit the ground they shatter once again, as dust Impossible task, really. Crying does you no good, since tears mixed with that dust-- well, you are only left with mud So what's one left with? Instinct. Sheer gut. And you can only hope and pray that you don't make a wrong turn this time. Completely thrown off course, you follow what you think is right. Collect yourself, read the signs again and walk on. Might take you days, even years but at least you still tried, refusing to just stand still, waiting for the paths to show you the way. You pave those paths yourself, without trampling on ants and maybe one day you'd suddenly find yourself in front of that lockless door that was meant for you alone. It is clamped shut though, and will only open when it sees you. This is that door that actually leads to the place you've been searching for all along. It doesn't have any locks at all simply because You are the key. 07072011328p357
