The trick is in figuring out whether a slow-to-open door will never open or will open with enough focus, patience, passion, and experience. ;-D! Often great treasures can be found behind doors that don’t easily open but call to us anyway. And I’ve learned much from doors I never did find a way to open no matter what I tried. The door that does not open may indeed not be my door, but the lessons it offers can be.
With Love,
Russ

Yes, yes and yes!
LOL! Thank you for your very agreeable comment, Tess!

Yeah there are some amazing things behind doors that are slow to open
That’s also often true of hearts and minds that are initially slow to open. Sometimes the toughest nuts to crack contain the sweetest meat.
Well, you are a wise man. I love LOOKING at doors, and should take photos of them, since they’re so seductive to me. But as a writer I wonder, ‘what’s behind that door?’ As a human being, I wonder, ‘can that door be opened?’ (Yes, a slow-opening door may be just what we need, huh?)
Thank you for your kind and interesting comment. I too, am intrigued by doors and gates, their beauty and mystery, what they represent, and sometimes their challenge.
