Whether you suffer an unjust system...whether you have been in a prison of another's making or in a cage of your own construction...there is...the dance without words before the twice-locked gates. --Before The Twice-Locked Gates, by Mark Nepo
When Laurie and Lisa read this, they thought about how humans have been building walls to keep others out for over 12,000 years. At that time, walls were built to secure people against wild animals and other dangers. But over time the walls evolved to keep people out. And that simply has not worked.
The Locked Gate is about how the power of a child's imagination can get through any wall, open any gate and undo any lock.
