At the threshold

I have this threshold experience where I get right up to the door of Awareness but the doorman says, “Sorry, bud, you can’t get in.”

“But why, I have cash, credit card, Paypal. Why can’t I enter?”

“The price of admission is nothing. You ain’t got nothin.”

“How about a good story, I’ve got lots of stories.”

“That won’t cut it, friend.”

“So is admission free?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“But Janis Joplin says nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ less it’s free.”

“Don’t pretend you know Janis.”

“Ok, I’ll guess I’ll come back when I have nothin’.”

“You do that, Honcho.”
