Your house has 1000 rooms.
Every closet, drawer, cupboard,
box and bin opens up
onto another world.
You might think that
after half a century
you would have dusted
every familiar corner,
but look! The medicine cabinet
swings open on a garden
in France. Beneath the kitchen
table an African safari
sends antelope racing
over your slippered feet.
The spare room closet
contains worlds known only
to the imagination.
So many years
have already passed.
There is only time left
to explore.

By Lynn Ungar, CLF minister for lifespan learning, from her book Bread and Other Miracles, available here.
