Magic door to who you are

The door I enter to a magic garden...8 by 9 watercolor, handmade Indian paper

Yesterday's door was the exit from the garden. I've been wondering what the other side of that door looks like, the one I see when I go in. 
While visiting there today, I heard,

             "Paint who you are, not what you see."

I've preached a version of this to students for years, write what you know, but I never took it to the obvious connection. What you know, in your mind, is who you are, your imagination.
And somewhere this evening, this came to me...mountains, a cabin, and the mysteries of travel and discovery. No wonder I like going through that door.
