he tells something Of the hardships Of

FurtiveIy, imperceptibly. the steep

to slide generously to another. The

we started. and l was left with only
one long willow tent pole. 1t was never
meant to balance you in half cut steps
that may or may not hold your toe.
AS the steps changed from a stair
way to a stepladder the other three
betrayed no excitement, no uneasiness
Neither did at first, but I felt both.
1t was not dizziness. not vertigo, but
simply that as | looked down the sheer
