“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.
