A Hill for Looking
You are ten years-old. Stretching before you is a long valley. A big lake rolls and curves through the middle. Nestled into the hills is the place where you live. Below, the red-roofed castles of the Ninette, Manitoba sanatorium. High above, is a hill that soars to the clouds. From the top, it seems you are at the beginning of the world. Look with me now. It's a wonderful hill for looking"....
