And this year all the world has listened to the winter howl in our environment.  Who says there’s no evidence of global climate change?

Here are my thoughts on doorways:

“There are so many doors to open. I am impatient to begin.”

–Charlie Gordan”

“A very little key will open a very heavy door.”
Charles Dickens, Hunted Down      

“But then life is never neat, it is made up of doors and trapdoors. You move down baroque corridors, and even when you think you know which door to open, you still need to have the courage to choose.”
J. M. Ledgard, Submergence
