the sacred road to love and beauty passed through the gates of solitude says Keats and at least once in every life I hope everyone discovers this truth if lucky it’s held if equally lucky it returns several many times the point is to not resist I have learned to not fear as the world would tell me to these gates I stand before in this once twice or many times in my life they are not after all a barrier but a breakthrough if I can be bold enough to stop my ears of the world pounding the bars of my mind with lies of busy and doing and must and let myself push through these gates swing wide and let in the light that only there and only then tell me the truth I have been longing all along to be able to believe
