On the outside looking in.
Published by Nichole on 28 January 2010.Earlier in the week I decided to go grocery shopping, list in hand I quickly walked through the doors hoping to beat the after work rush. But then something strange happened. The second set of doors didn't open. I stood there, staring at this barrier that was preventing me from my task, unsure of my next move. My brain reeled. Were they closed? Not possible, it's only 530! Besides, I could see people happily shopping away, there was a whole world happening on the other side of that glass and for a split second I didn't know how to get in! And then it hit me. I've grown to accustom to the magic door opening to welcome me upon my arrival you see, but somewhere back in the dark corners of my brain I could hear a small voice saying 'push'.
Push and Pull. A simple concept learned in childhood that somehow eludes me. It's shameful really, but somehow I don't think i'm alone in this.
