I have learned to appreciate the hills.
Up and down I haul my groceries to the flat, …
… pass steps …
… and take shortcuts through narrow passages.
Houses lean into the slope …
… row after row.
Many have an excellent view …
.. from their porch, …
… their window …
… or front door.
I look up …
… and down.
Above the city …
… the sky …
… meets the trees …
… and the meadows.
I like living on a hill. I even like the wind.
