Safety Latch Or Escape Hatch 

Doors unlocked
          Opportunity knocks

        Doors closed
          Fears exposed

I like an unlocked door; so glad I live in the country with a giant fierce-looking dog who is a pussy cat.

Meaningful write - in South Africa we not only have doors locked, but fancy walls around its parameter, burglar bars on windows we install alarms, some have barbed wire on top of their wall. The estate in which we have just bought a cottage in none of these immediately around the house. As we have security guards around the complex and high walls with an electric fence and barbed wire on top, our cottages themselves free of all these burdens. Planet Earth's violence is on the rise. Hugs, Jenn.

Or in these days, doors locked could mean a wise person being street smart :)

You are so right. Shying away from opportunity can lead to frustration now and stagnation later, as the psycho-doodles say. :) gw

For sure; safety can made prisoners of us all. Short but sweet. Great one, Gershon!
