U16 dm' af vppvrfuuify Tradition has it that opportunity knocks at our door, and that it knocks but once. lf We believe this, We may not be at home when it knocks and it will pass us by. I prefer to think of opportunity as the DOOR itself. I think of it as a door that is tall and wide and always ajar. It beckons to us to see What is on the other side and gives us permission to pass. Through it We may find adventure, happiness, peace, Work and service. The door is never really closed, but if we do not pass through it, it might as Well be. J. F.
