When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.
When somebody knocks on my front door, I open it. I think the majority of people do. Especially here in South Africa because most of us have safety gates to prevent surprises when we open the door. Something that was not necessary when I was a child.
The average person doesn’t hide behind a closed door and doesn’t scamper to write down registration numbers. Unless - of course - if we expect trouble.
We open the door and if it is a friend, we let him in. We cannot just let a stranger in but we should listen to what brought the stranger to our doorstep. Then, after checking his credentials, we can decide if there is need for any action or not.
Why is it then that we act differently when love comes knocking at our heart’s door? We follow the extreme options. We either hide behind a closed door of we let the stranger in and give him a free run of the place without knowing his bona fides.
Why don’t we first listen to a stranger’s story before we decide what to do? Should we not get to know the strangers bona fides before we give him the full run of our hearts?
Your heart is a sacred as your home; treat it as such.

hi honey ......
is anyone feeling something called 'j'?
I'm not so sure if love is really blind. I think we just close our eyes to quickly.
gotcha .... i am still not peeping
Aye, then I should practice what I preach.
Denzel Washington? Then love is blind after all.
I'm sure you do without logging in.
yeah baby......
i am waiting for another blind to open my eyes..
I think I understand what you're saying. Don't let him in first time. Let him call a few times.
Hmm, quite so. We are intrigued by the unknown. Fascinated by the prospect of adventure.
Yes...let him/her tell their story before we unlock those gates...our home is our sanctuary...love is gained by trust...
I heard that they say you should love with your one eye open.
It raises the question: Do you have to close your eyes when in love?
Yes, that is how it should be. But somehow we break all our own rules when we are in love.
Thanks for the sound good advice coming from your blog...
i switch on my home security display, and if a sales person is standing i switch on the microphone and scream, this is the first line of defense and if you do not move - then my light machine gun will.
Hmm, if life was like the movies, we'd never be blue.
So simple and straight forward; a basic protocol in life and yet we all get it wrong in love.
Luckily our hearts are more resilient - believe it or not - than our houses. Hearts do heal if we allow it to while some other hearts are like our minibus taxis; always place for another.
Hope you're having a nice evening there...
I'll have Rod. S 'Tonight is the Night' playing on the background then...
Would love to elaborate alittle more on the matter, but believe it or not i'm actually rushing out the front door at the moment, so i'm sorry, i gotta go
But i shall be back later...
considering you leave your door open alittle for me, that is.
If a man knock knock my heart's door, Maybe I will open just a little to see whose out there and give him a chance to tell me his story... then I will decide whether i will close it back or open wider...
Sorry cat it wont accept my brackets
You extremely funny -
and attractive- woman!No, my friend. Women bungle in it as often as men do. It is just after a recent disappointment that we say this is the last time but we soon forget about exercising care.
Yes, That is the way it should be but we only practice that after being hurt lately. We soon forget and then we get adventurous again.
