You are free to soar

  • Built in the 1700’s. How do i know?
  • This.
  • The more times i climbed the eight flights, the easier it got. 
Goucher Parents Weekend 2021.

i’ve relished the opportunity to walk up and down the eight flights of steps, for the past four days. 

Why?

Because i can. 

Some day i may yearn for the lost ability to do it. To be able to walk up and down even one flight. 

Think about the narrow-mindedness believing stairs are an inconvenience. 

Absurd, right?
