A well-beaten path stands before you. The grass sways in the wind beside the path. This wind beckons you, and you follow as it leaps over the grass. You’re being called to adventure. But then you ask yourself if you‘ll answer this call. Will you take a step off the conventional path? Or will you forever wonder what would’ve happened if you’d risked the unknown?
O. Henry asks these questions in “The Green Door.” In this story, he follows a young man, Rudolf Steiner, as he sets out on an adventure that changes his life.
