Below is part of a weekly series called What Does This Remind You Of? Learn how you can participate at the bottom of this post!
Ordinary things in extraordinary places. My brain is automatically confused. Indoor door in an outdoor sea.
I hear the cool, rushing water. The closed door is an emblem of wonder. There’s no telling what’s on the other side in this moment. It’s blocking out a world that seeps and rushes around it. It doesn’t shut out a thing.
It reminds me of a dream, where it’s not out of the norm for ordinary things to be in extraordinary places. It looks absolutely unreal. It’s hard to stop my brain from asking questions. How did this door get here? What’s holding it up? Who puts household items in the sea?
Whereas my imagination wonders things like how many people have sat up against it? Passed by it in a hallway, slammed it in a fit of rage? It reminds me of a stairway to nowhere. A door that opens to nothing. Or to another dimension maybe. It reminds me of being in another world, where I am one of many people wandering freely and aimlessly without judgement, stumbling upon bizarre things and approaching them with curiosity.
I want to go in, through, out, and around it, again and again.
It also sort of reminds me of the twilight zone. And even that movie The Shining for some reason. It’s ominous, and marvelous. A door that waits for no one, just sits happily closed.
To nothing.
