“For me it’s a great visual metaphor to represent the journey from the “seen” – the mundane and bland – to the “unseen” that beckons when walking through the door – the dream, the hope, the extraordinary. If you don’t open up your mind and be prepared to take the journey through the door, you will never escape the trappings of the present…”

I’ve already told you why I love this picture: For me it’s a great visual metaphor to represent the journey from the “seen” – the mundane and bland – to the “unseen” that beckons when walking through the door – the dream, the hope, the extraordinary. If you don’t open up your mind and be prepared to take the journey through the door, you will never escape the trappings of the present…
