Though I have never held their key, these doors hold behind them an entire world to me. From the moment I saw them, I sensed their magic, something ancient lurking just on the other side of the dense blue metal. These doors made me realize that we always have the power to make portals of the ordinary. Lewis gave me a wardrobe. MacHale gave me an abandoned subway. L’Engle gave me love & spacetime itself. So why not a simple set of doors beneath a bridge over the Delaware’s water? Why not me, a nobody to the cosmos, yet the writer of my own story?
