I saw a quote on the internet today, some article I was reading on relationships -- seems to be my only source of internet browsing these days -- but it was:
"As men grow older, the poet Donald Justice wrote, men should 'learn to close softly the doors to rooms they will not be coming back to.' Whats left behind in those rooms? The unlimited options and possibilities we love to contemplate. The certainty you're looking for, comes only after the door is shut."
This really made me sit back and think. So many times in life we are looking for signs that things are right. The right timing, the right outfit, the right job, the right relationship, the certainty that everything is in its place and is how its supposed to be. But, are we ever really sure? It might not be until things are not so right, that you actually realize how right they were when you were so uncertain. The certainty comes only after the door is shut ...
This makes me think.
