I do not seek. I find. – Pablo Picasso

and so we went to find art.

Image

and after we ran so far,

and climbed so many stairs,

we could see the sky.

and there we found

a beautiful stone lion waiting for us.

we must have climbed to the top of the world.

and we were in the clouds.

And these kiddos, their imaginations prolific, do both: they “seek”, and they “find. As you wrote, ” … we must have climbed to the top of the world.” Transcendence: most kiddos have it; and art offers it. Okay, I’m out. T
