a fence of doors

“He built his fences out of doors and made the trespassers into guests.”

I loved this thought when I saw it.

The whole idea we all have fences we build around ourselves and the fact in this case we would decide to make a fence out of doors so that people who infringe on our “space” are guests is an amazing thought.

I envy people who can do this.

Being able to welcome someone into your personal space is a talent and an attribute … and an attitude … that is remarkable to watch.

Watch how people seemingly flock to those who have doors for fences.

The other aspect of this I love is that the fence doesn’t have a limited number of doors.

All are welcome to enter at anytime as a guest.

I recognize I am not this type of person. I enjoy my fence and having one door for guests to enter.

But in my life I have been fortunate to encounter those few who seem to have limitless space in their days and lives for others to enter.

And each time I am lucky enough to be able to enter one of their doors and watch how each trespasser, myself included, so quickly became guests.

This is a nice thought.
