Leave the Doorway Open
Inspired by “Come From Away” (contains spoilers)
there’s a moment in “Come From Away” where a knock-knock joke between friends two who have lived what ought never have been enters quietly into the middle of their grief overcomes their tears and stands bravely in the doorway of their hope a tender moment shared between sophisticates of different sorts
“Knock-knock” “Come on in!”
they laughed and with them we laughed
laughter! a suddenly open door and hope!
so soon after we had wept so many years after we had all wept
laughter! and hope renewed!
because after you’ve wept you’ve got to leave the doorway open
be willing to say “Come on in!” again allow the world to touch you again risk the flood of tears again be vulnerable to joy again
or grief can never heal and hope can never come again
