Interpretation
The speaker reflects on a life marked by unexpected welcome and guidance: effort (“knocked”) is met by opportunity (“a door has opened”), and uncertainty (“wandered”) is met by direction (“a path has appeared”). The parallel structure suggests a pattern the speaker has come to trust—an almost providential or deeply relational sense that the world responds when one persists, seeks, and moves forward. Read as a credo, it affirms resilience and openness to possibility: progress is not always planned, but it becomes visible through action. The line also implies gratitude and hard-won confidence, as if obstacles have repeatedly transformed into passages.
