A Thanksgiving Epiphany

Admittedly a minor one.  I have long been trapped in a room with two doors.  One is labeled "Transcendence" in big letters.  Since it is transcendence that I have been after for quite some time, I have turned the knob in vain, kicked at the door in vain, tried to shake it off its hinges in vain.

Why did I not think before to try the door marked "Clarity?"  It opened with no fuss when I tried it and I am out of the room.

You might say that clarity is a lesser goal than transcendence.  Or you might say that achieving one is achieving the other.

And now, if I could only do the same with another room, in which one door is labeled "Redemption," and the other ... "Lovingkindness" maybe?
