“The door wasn’t there because you have any obligations left to these people, or this world. It was there because sometimes people can’t let go of who they thought we were, and so they keep trying to tangle us in nets and drag us back. That doesn’t mean we have to go. Or if we do go, that doesn’t mean we have to stay.”
This resonated with me from a church perspective. When something reminds me of the church or religion it’s not “the Holy Spirit” (that turns my stomach now.- that phrase so easily dropped by anyone in the church to explain every coincidence). It’s coincidence or worse someone trying to “tangle” me back in because they can’t let go of who they think I should be.
