Inspired by lyrics to “My Door Is Always Open to You” by Sloan Wainwright:
“My door is always open to you.
You’re welcome any time of the day or night.
It’s a safe place, gentle and kind.
My door is always open to you . . . .
Time to rest and take it slow, through my door. My door is always open to you.
You’re welcome any time of the day or night. It’s a safe place, gentle and kind. My door is always open to you.”
