Door

Hosea writes of a door of hope. A door. Gateway. Access point. A door. Of hope. Of hope? Is the door the hope? Is the hope the door? Is it possibly a door for hope? For hope to come to us, or us to take hold of and pursue hope, like a rope we climb, fist-over fist, out of a pit? 


"I will give her her vineyards from there,

And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;

She shall sing there,

As in the days of her youth,

As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt."

~ Hosea 2:15

to me, mind you— 
seems like a long engagement.
