Sunny Depression by Yoko (click on image for larger version)
The image above is a good one to ponder as we prepare to hear the Lord tell us this weekend:
And I tell you, ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened...
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened...
What doors am I knocking on? Is it closed? locked? ajar?
What's behind the door? What do I hope to find behind the door?
Are there other doors open to me?
What keeps me on this side of the door? Is it locked? Have I tried the handle?
Who will open the door? Is it a door I can open?
For this weekend's readings, commentary on them and other images, read here and here.

I am knocking on doors to find a new job...
ReplyDelete(not just a new job- hope, meaning... )
well, I haven't actually started knocking on the doors yet (for the job)- I am doing the work I need to do to be ready to knock on the doors and be prepared when/if it is opened...
sometimes I am very afraid of what/who is behind the door...
I hope to find acceptance and belonging behind the door...
and love...
there are other doors open to me now- all the help I am getting for different things...
what keeps me on this side of the door sometimes is FEAR, DOUBT... big decisions, are they right or wrong?
the door is only locked if I lock myself in, which I do when I am inside-
sometimes I put my hand on the handle, but I freeze and I can't open it-
then I have to pray really hard for God to help me - to open it for me-
and he does...
Thanks for these questions... which have gently prompted me into reflection.
ReplyDelete...I have to ask- "Sunny Depression"? What does that mean exactly?
ReplyDeletemaybe you don't know really what the author really meant, but maybe you could give your opinion?
