Do we, as human beings, have some innate desire to climb up as high as we can? I was just thinking we go on holidays and pay money to climb up towers and buildings and mountains. I wish I had kept count of every step I climbed whilst on holiday. I wish I could calculate the Empire State and the Eiffel Tower and the Spanish Steps and La Sagrada Familia and the steps leading up to Catherine the Great's palace and the Wallace Monument (I did in fact count those steps). We climb, climb, climb to get the highest view. Reaching up to God, touch a star, swipe a cloud. I'd make some reference to the Tower of Babylon but I never got that far in the Bible. Though I did find out the Whore of Babylon was just a metaphorical whore.
I have a sudden urge to write something about Jack and Jill.
