Talking Telford: Ethical consumption in Wellington - on a budget
I’m not a religious man but I grew up in a religious place, where the daily bible verses and hymns did leave me with a love of the colourful phrasing and metaphors the bible inspires, if not with an unshakeable belief in the almighty.
‘When god closes one door he opens another’ - you may have heard that before from a well-meaning relative after you’ve been dumped or turned down for a job. It’s about being open to new opportunities and possibilities even when we’re faced with disappointment.
Now, it seems unfair to me to give god the credit for all the door-opening when in fact it’s usually hard-working humans hurrying around all day opening them, but the semantics of the phrase are less important to me than the spirit.
