Daily Meditation for March 12, 2026

Doors of Dublin. What’s behind each one? Who has lived behind each of them; who lives there now? What stories do they shelter? Why are the colors of the doors so vibrant and ornate? If you could choose one to open, which would it be? What attracts you? Daily events come to us as doors, some enticing us to open, others not. In each encounter, we are open to possibilities for creative thinking, facing challenges that can make us stronger in courage, hope, faith, care, and acting out of justice. We cannot always tell what the door will open for us. Appearances can be misleading. Whatever happens when the door opens depends largely on our response to it. Will it be constructive? Destructive? A missed opportunity for good for ourselves and others? Choose, turn the key and explore behind the door.
