|  | Hello to all my readers:
Wherever you may be, and whatever is going on in your life now, I want to send you my wishes for a holiday season and New Year filled with connection and intimacy. I'd love to share that wish through one of my favorite poems.
Many years ago, camping in the Wind River Mountains on Wyoming, my friends and I found ourselves in the midst of a memorable sunshower. It was summertime, and we were on a sloping meadow. Half the sky was black and dark, while half was bright and sunny. Sunlight beamed down on us as we got soaked by a gentle rain. It felt like...life. One friend was moved to share this peice of a poem by TS Eliot.
"You bring me news
Of a door that opens at the end of a corridor,
Sunlight and singing;
when I had felt sure
That every corridor only led to another,
Or to a blank wall; that I kept moving
Only so as not to stay still.
Singing and light."
—From The Family Reunion by T.S. Eliot
In your journey toward love, if you keep sharing your true heart, and building your life with those precious people who treasure you for who you are, doors will open. Somehow, they just will. Out of nowhere, sometimes. I'm so thankful for those doors, and for all the possibilities behind them.
This year to come, we'll all hit moments of doorless halls, of frustrating corridor upon corridor (Hey! That sounds a lot like the world of dating!) Yet the more time we decide to spend in inspiring relationships, the more we'll find doors that can--and will--change our futures.
Here's to all the wonderful new doors to come in your year ahead!
With much care
Ken
