Infinity Doors
Opening them and stepping through
Just as the excitement peaked there came a precipitous drop in that excitement. It had built up very slowly in a growing crescendo but after peaking there was no diminuendo but rather an almost instantaneous cessation of energy.
The song did not fade out but rather ended abruptly leaving a pervasive silence with an equally strong intensity. In the void of that silence sadness rushed in.
The silence should have brought peace but the joyously loud excitement instead brought forth its opposite. The contrast had more intensity than either of the opposites and it was in that contrast that a door opened up.
Walking through that door into a field of peace a completely different energy takes over. It is soothing. Calm. Quiet. Still. It is a submersion into a layer of reality that is always there but usually ignored. The door to that reality usually remains closed and when it spontaneously opens there is an unwillingness and fear to pass through it.
And when we do pass through it, it is only a matter of time before we are sucked back in. The forces on this side of the door are strong and made stronger by our tacit agreement to consider and maintain only one level of reality.
