"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."..Emerson. This symbolically tells of the portals we dare to open in life, our Spiritual Awakening. An allegory.
MAHA..
It tells of our choices to be seen or hidden,or,sadly,incarcerated against our will, shut in the Cellar, omg. At the bottom of the 'stairway to hell'.
It tells of light in the darkness, to give us hope. It is a great liberty to have and make choices. AUM LAKSHMI YEI. Here, there is a window of hope.
"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."..Emerson
“Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.” Rumi
'If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.' Rabindranath Tagore.
'There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.' Omar Khayyam
'To die is as if one's eyes had been put out and one cannot see anything any more. Perhaps it is like being shut in a cellar. One is abandoned by all. They have slammed the door and are gone. One does not see anything and notices only the damp smell of putrefaction.' Edvard Munch

I was about to tell you how great this yellow door is but then I saw you already had 70 comments so I figured you didn't need another one. Besides, what could I tell you that you haven't already heard?

I am so honoured by your so thoughtful response to my artwork, this Yellow Door, its symbolism, that you understand from your depths....Yes, a time-twisting portal , yes, the heart rending choices, yes the poetry........all all were my inspiration, and that you KNOW, is the highest honour for me. Thankfully, yes, the touch of blue...the symbol of Hope... you are so special to give me your time and thoughts, and I thank you, truly, from my depths............VIVA

A Yellow Cellar door, so iconic a creation, as Cellar Door is beautiful to the ear — in opposition to its prosaic meaning — has been made by and attributed to a wide variety of writers over the years. “Poetry, in fact, is two quite distinct things,” H. L. Mencken wrote in a 1920 magazine column. “It may be either or both. One is a series of words that are intrinsically musical, in clang-tint and rhythm, as the single word cellar-door is musical. The other is a series of ideas, false in themselves, that offer a means of emotional and imaginative escape from the harsh realities of everyday.” More recently, the superior sound of cellar door was mentioned in the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko,” in which a cellar serves as a time-twisting portal.

Another spectacular creation, the little touch of cerulean blue just brings it up to another level, very, very NICE !!!!!!!!!!!
