“If the stable gate is closed, climb the fence.” Julie Krone
There Is Always A Way The gate was old, full of character, but obstinate, refusing to budge at even my firm handed push, the gouge in the soil testimony to its sunken hinges, forcing me to lift it clear every time with a sigh acknowledging my own resistance to repairing it, partly in knowing that all gates eventually sink, and knowing that there is always a way around and not just through.

The fixing of the gate is a great metaphor for so many fixings that we have to do (or don’t) on repeat.

“all gates eventually sink” indeed.
But fortunately “there is always a way around…”
All well my dear Paul? (Considering)

Yes, all is well as can be, and, there is a way round what isn’t. I wonder that you are doing alright too?

As well as can be indeed. Beginning to feel guilty about it when war is rearing its ugly head. Like I should do something… But what?
