this afternoon i rode bikes with a couple friends
and we stopped for a rest at the most
wonderful park in minneapolis.
my friends helped me climb a tree that i've
wanted to climb for years.
i'm not tall enough to reach the lowest branch
so i always contented myself with splashing
in the nearby fountain instead.
but these friends understand the significance
of a good climbing tree
and worked together to help me climb it.
once the three of us were settled into its branches
we just sat for awhile and enjoyed the day.
i was so pleased to finally be in the tree.
i couldn't stop marveling at the fact that i was sitting there,
with my friends on either side.
at that moment it was the very best place.
