Will you choose door number one, or door number two? When you open one, will you find the tiger or the pot of gold? Perhaps you'll find your true love waiting?As I walk through the streets of Modena, I realize that Italy is a country of deep privacy and inner beauty. Family lives are robust and lively, but apartments are shuttered and enclosed to maintain private space.
Stunning 12-foot doorways open wide to even more beautiful courtyards - worlds within worlds, and each is more beautiful than the next. The first courtyard here is what I see every time I open our outer doors to our apartment, and it soothes me each time I do.
"In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand.
Nobody on earth can give you
either the key or the door to open,
except yourself."
Krishnamarti
