You cover so much, so well - I could spend entire days reading your posts. Kafka. The simple sentence. The revelation that all is well (indeed, it is perfect!). Alice. Narnia. And how deftly you capture what I love so much about the door, the portal:
I have been thinking, too, of fairy tales. The idea of Alice and the rabbit hole and its connection with physics. I don’t know much about physics. I’m just another artist-groupie, but I am captivated by the idea of a wormhole. A hypothetical tunnel connecting disparate points in light-space, with the attendant, hypothetical, possibility of time travel. None of this is encouraged by hard science, but neither is it entirely refuted. Disputed, more-like. This idea of a shortcut between worlds, which, for me, translates as a shortcut into creative space, where inspiration is able to move with more agility and vision to engage with more dexterity.
Now I must tear myself away and tackle my own writing projects, and be INSPIRED, not daunted. It's so easy for me to fall into the "why bother" trap, thinking "Nothing I say is ever as articulate or apt as all that!" You are "All That," but I am what I am, this, that, or the other, and off to write now I shall go. Thank you for the inspiration.
