“If you can not get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
Today I take back my life!……..unlikely as this may seem, but the third stair leading up to the bedrooms, is the most significant place in my house. In this most unlikely place of worship, I nurse my morning cup of tea, savouring the gentle light of dawn, the silence of sleeping children and the freshness of the start of the day. In this seemingly innocuous of spots, I find the utmost peace and greatest energy ….it is where my positive thoughts lie, whether I daydream or reminisce. This is the stair on which I get lost, where I drift away from Caramel Square, and Toronto, and even Canada and glide into illusive worlds. This is the stair where molten thoughts and ideas flow and threaten to erupt, in a surge of new energy. There is no explanation for the power of the third stair, but there are many theories….. some suggest that I derive a sense of power as the master of all I survey or that I’m energized by the vibrant yet controversial red walls in the living room or maybe soothed by the pale blue kitchen, bathed in morning light Whatever it is, this is where my day begins and it seemed appropriate, that it would be where my life began.
