“No experience you want or wish for is truly closed to you.” Pinnacle
Deborah was once unable to enter into a magnificent walled garden usually open to visitors. The garden was beautiful and beguiling. A rich discovery. There are many reasons she wanted to enter it, among them her interest in gardens and their historical connections. However in this case, she felt a strong desire to enter it. Yet the gates were locked and the garden closed. Ornate iron work offered a peak inside to catch a glimpse and imagine how beautiful it must be. She told herself, “Gates are never truly closed.” You can be lifted over perceived barriers in your life in so many ways.
We urged her to revisit the garden. What awaited her in place of the ornate locked gates were temporary ones which opened easily, so she entered the garden. The vistas which greeted her, took her breath away: views over the sea, fountains, statues, and an ornate garden design with benches to rest and reflect. The day was cool and refreshing. Camelias by the hundreds surrounded her,as if in a dream. We encouraged her to include photographs here.
But our greatest encouragement is to you, dear reader. Nothing you want or wish for is truly closed to you. You have multiple opportunities to experience them. And if you miss one, you can always wait for it to come again. Please think about this as you go about your day. There are no barriers except that you believe there are. You can really accomplish anything! We write more about this in our books. We hope you will read it and explore more about this concept. —Your teachers
