unlocked the door
with the secret key
climbed way up high
into the secret tower
with
the kinders
up and up and up
the
spiral staircase
with
stone walls
tiny windows
brave hearts
and
a wondrous view from the top.
—
“a well-ordered life is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up is better than the view from the base,
and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.”

I would very much enjoy that kind of climb and view. And the expectation of it betting better with each step.

The little ones in your care have some fun. I rarely ever wish to go back in time, but maybe to be a ‘kinder’ near you would be good.
