(The following story is included)

The Ancient Ones built these cliff

dwellings for shelter from the elements,

for safety and for a place to call home.

There is no more comforting feeling

than to “climb our ladder”

into the nurturing shelter & protection

of our own Sanctuary-

to shut out the world outside

and breathe the sigh of homecoming,

of warmth, Love and familiarity.

There we can rest and refresh ourselves,

and begin tomorrow anew.
