get the hell out

How welcoming a door can be.

Tucked away in a quiet corner like this one

or claiming center-stage in a concealed courtyard.

Bells toll and magnificent cathedral doors open!

Of course, there are some doors I hope never to need to enter.

And doors that I could never, never tire of entering.

































Here's our 3906 door.

It's a handsome door which will open to welcome you.  

I step outside this front door sometimes in the wee hours, to take a picture of the full moon or just to savor the quiet.  There's no other time of day or night that's so wonderfully quiet.

I stand on the walkway, knowing somewhere, there's another woman walking out her door in the middle of the night.  Maybe it's a ratty and torn screen door or maybe it's a custom-made, hand-carved, Italian import.  It doesn't matter; she got out!

It takes women in abusive situations, on average, seven attempts before they successfully leave.  Many of them have children.  Incomprehensibly, three children die every day as a result of domestic violence.

That's why I support Hope's Door.

Hope's Door provides emergency shelter and interim support for women leaving abusive situations.  They shelter, they counsel, they educate.

Their door is always open.
