The Doors of Nafplio

People like doors
And people are like doors.


People like to be open
To new people and
New experiences.


People like to be closed
So they can keep themselves
Free of unruly things like
Feelings and protect themselves
From getting hurt.



People like to open doors
To new opportunities and 
Things that will make them feel secure 
Or jettison them into success. 



People like to close doors
Behind them so that you can't follow

When they decide that you're not good enough
And walk away from you.




This beautiful poem is called Doors, by Kayla Bellinger. It sums up a lot of feelings I have when looking at doors; I especially liked all the unique doors in Nafplio. And, where better to get philosophical about doors than in Greece?
