This is the first podcast of my series: tidbits and tales. Think of those old story boxes at the zoo when you were a child and you had to put the little elephant key and each time you turn the key you got a different story about a different animal. Tidbits and tales are much like that; turn the key to my mind and read a different story every week. This story is about the doorway. A simple elegant doorway. If you step through it nobody knows which will happen.The question then then becomes would you have walked through the doorway?
