According To Architectural Historian Philippa Lewis, A Portal Is Generally An Optimistic Thing, Both Literally And Metaphorically . . . The Word Encapsulates The Idea Of Passing Through, To A New Opportunity, To Making Progress Or Moving Forward, To Entering Fresh New Worlds.That May Be The Reason So Many People Are Drawn To The Idea Of Portalsfrom King Nebuchadnezzar'S Ishtar Gate Through The Walls Of Babylon, To Mountain Passes, The Doorway To The Raphael Loggia At The Vatican, Pontoons, And Drawbridges. Portals Also Have Enlivened Fiction And Lorewhat Would Arabian Nights Have Been Without The Magical Command Open Sesame! Or Alice In Wonderland If Alice Had Not Followed The White Rabbit Down A Rabbit Hole? And In Many Cultures Around The World, A Rainbow Is A Portal That Stands For Peace, Tolerance, Respect For Life And Diversity.
