Portal


Come with me to a mystical realm, one that’s home from home. We get there through the other side of the door, just before we reach where the doorway would normally take us.

Are you ready? Take a deep breath.

Walk forward, over the threshold on this side, but before we cross over on that side, suspend belief.

Look at the swirling white light all around.

Breathe deeply.

What do you see? A future yet to happen? A memory that is slightly different? Or a path you would like to experience?

This realm isn’t real. It allows you to see possibilities you may decide to take up. It gives a glimpse of what might be and what may have been.

The portal, like the threshold, are not set in stone. They are flexible, fluid, and adaptable.

The realm is in the intuition, the imagination; the sights seen are guidance, suggestions; the life is yours; as are the choices you make, the paths you travel, the doorways you open, and the thresholds you cross. Always look for the light and your journey will be easier.

    Boy…The mansion is really showing us new rooms or something! Best be careful TL and not walk through unless you are prepared you may never return! The Mansion must be testing you…I wonder why??? VK 🙂

      The Mansion is always finding a way to test me, VK. I’d say I’m used to it now… but I’m really not! 😊

      I could hear ‘Nights in White Satin’ in the middle of this, so had to toddle off to see who it was by. Wouldn’t you know it… The Moody Blues! 😏

        Yes, a fantastic album by the Moody Blues. The whole thing is worth listening to.
