Open Doors

With the growing population
elsewhere in the world,
humanity embraces challenges
across cultures and mindsets
transparency gets into them.

Manifold experiences
in a variety of settings
schools of thought emerge
in view of opinion and comprehension.

They’re meaningful;
indeed, a dialogue of cultures.
like Jesus in the gospel who
says, “I am the gate for the sheep . . . .
I am the gate.” 

His teachings in parables,
metaphors or personifications
are meant to bring
his disciples to understand well
about his mission and
his kingdom altogether.

It’s the best way to experience
the flesh and blood
of being a migrant;
welcomed and rejected
in various situations.

Lessons about hospitality
or migration in continuity
enable one to see beyond
in the context of pluriformity.

Human thoughts and reflections
generate the concept of open doors
where everyone comes
and goes with conviction –
to be Christ-like to others
and mindful of their needs and aspirations
