Life is filled with ‘sliding doors’. So so many. I find these moments both exciting and terrifying.
And it’s so easy to look back to some moments and wonder about the decisions made or made for us (by the Universe). Sometimes it’s impossible to get out of that headspace of dreaming and recreating a different past.
This is a photo of a sliding door moment, 4 years ago, in which I found myself on a rooftop in Glebe after a chance meeting on a Sydney train.
The door I walked through (much to my distress at the time) took me across all the oceans to 23 countries. I sailed through icebergs and fjords and with Dolphins. I learned Japanese and most importantly met beautiful, kind and inspiring people who I will forever cherish.
Recently for various reasons I have found myself back to that rooftop moment wondering and thinking…..and last night my thoughts left me with a very restless sleep.
But as I write this post – more as a way to understand than anything else – the ‘What If?’ doesn’t matter anymore. It’s the people I have been so so fortunate to meet as a result of the ‘other door’ and the love, the pain, the stories and the dreams that I have shared with them that matter more than anything else. I have always known this – but recently the ‘drama’ of life has made me forget.
No amount of ‘thanks’ to the Universe is enough.
