How aliens might refer to doors in their symbology, if they do at all, can tell the reader how aliens perceive and value them, as well as give possible distinctions between aliens.Jaleh Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942272578488986874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937390557356997344.post-58526820621287018132011-04-05T08:05:21.601-07:002011-04-05T08:05:21.601-07:00I love doors, too.
