An open gate beckons. Passing through it into an unknown space is a delightful adventure into possibility. It takes a bit of courage to venture in, but it could be exactly the right decision.
Gateway is based on a picture taken at the Palace of Versailles in France. The rustic fences enclosed many outdoor "rooms" where the trees and bushes grew as they liked. They seemed to be places with the potential for mystery, privacy, and seclusion in the middle of the otherwise highly cultivated gardens. As a teenager, I read quite a lot of historical fiction set at Versailles. These spaces were just the kind of place I would have loved to disappear with a good book for an afternoon, where, hopefully, no one could find me. Decades later, the idea still appeals.
