Up On A Roof

       I’ve spent a lot of time on this roof. As a teenager, I would go up there just to get away. It offered a unique perspective of my environment.
       Many of us have had the feeling, certainly as adolescents, that we see things quite differently than everybody else. I sure did. Especially when I was on my roof. Being up there was a physical manifestation of my own unique experience of the world. Time seemed to stand still. And everything made sense to my eighteen year old mind.
