Brick-Wall Window

"Hey, Suzy." 

"Yeah, Buddy?"

"What's this window for?"

"Well ... I guess it's sort of a ... decoration."

"Right, because you can't see anything through it."

"Right ..."

The conversation happened at a recent family gathering, but I wasn't bothered.

My capacity for imagination has been with me as long as I can remember. I'm drawn to:

closed doors, latched boxes,

keyholes, pathways, 

abandoned doors, misplaced ladders,

and yes, old windows with a view to nothing.

I've come to realize that my fondness for such things is a Creator-given trait, 

an invaluable gift which empowers me to write. 

And with a little bit of imagination, my friend just might realize that this

brick-wall window does indeed have a view, of sorts.
