Old keys have so much
to say, often so much history to them-I love all kinds. Contemporary keys have as much to say as well,
many secrets to tell. Keys are so thought provoking, one`s imagination can run
wild, and conjure up all kinds of stories when one sees a rusty old one, or a
shiny newly minted one-they tickle the imagination. Some, maybe even be in the
esoteric and of a celestial order- as they
rise above the mundane physical like the key of St. Peter to the gates of
heaven, as well as to the Catholic Church, and the Ankh, key to eternal life
that is carried in the hands of Egyptian deities; more often in the hands of Anubis. Now-I do believe that even the nuclear codes are a form of key-a dangerous key indeed, one that we should thrown away for good.
Here are a few things
that often have keys, that come to mind, but I am sure that there are
scores more if one really takes time to
think about it. House keys, gate keys, bedroom keys, cellar keys, cupboard
keys, trunk keys, diary keys and even motor car keys-which are considered
regular keys, though they do hold their own secrets, apart from the car
keys-which holds the mystery of the engine.
Then there are keys
to great fortunes, power and fame-that entice many. The keys that encompass the less
physical, that have their roots in the emotional aspect, some may even touch on
a spiritual and philosophical side of things are keys to hearts, key to
problems, giving keys, key to life, keys to enlightenment and to eternal life.
There are very special keys that open the mind to ancient mysteries and wisdom,
like the Kabbalah-and some strange ones like the Keys of Enoch-whether we
believe it or not, it does unlock answers for many. Key to the Bible and many
sacred texts –opens the soul to peace,
love and God.
They all hide some
secret in a way-except piano keys. Well they-do also, they open life to music-giving
joy and happiness, so they have their own mystery too.. All keys unlock something physically, literally or metaphorically, and all have something unique, something special
to unlock. They all hold a mystery and a curiosity for the human mind wanting to unlock them. I think even Pandora`s box had a key to it and look where it got us.
Now-if I would have a
choice of three, what keys would they be?
The Kabbalah-which would give me wisdom and enlightenment, the Ankh –would give me eternal
life and a deep connection to God- and the piano keys-they would unleash all the
beautiful music possible. Yes-with these three I would be quite content with.
