The Door Is Open And There Is Plenty Of Light
Above is a picture of a bar called The Comet. The Comet is located at 4579 Hamilton Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati is one of my hometowns in life.
Stop by The Comet for a beer and for a burrito.
Often The Comet is busy, but in this picture it is empty.
It is good when we get a break from the demands of life and things are quiet.
When things are quiet, we can think.
You see that the door to The Comet is open and there is light both inside and outside
We need light to see the right course.
The open door allows us to enter and find some refuge. It also allows us to leave and follow the light outside.
You can come and go as you wish—There will be light in either case.
A bar does the most business in the evening. During the day business is slower and supplies can be received.
We’ve got to restock to have what we need to get through life.
I wish I could call my friends this evening and meet them at The Comet.
But I’m in Houston and the bar is in Cincinnati.
This is okay because I can look at this picture from Cincinnati and recall good things that have happened in my life.
I can be aware that I have many good things going in Houston.
I can look forward to the two times each year I visit Cincinnati and see my friends.
I’m glad for light. I’m glad for time to reflect and take stock. I’m glad for the past and for the present.
And though not pictured here, the evening and times when things are more busy and hectic have value as well.
It all adds up to a good life.
Take a good second look at places and things in your life that you feel you are well-acquainted with. It is possible that you may be able to see and consider these things and places in a new and useful way.
