A Route Beyond the Desk

The desk mat and bookshelf have grown familiar. This morning, I decided to venture beyond them. I crossed the open floor along the edge of the woven carpet, keeping a measured pace until I reached the tall wooden radiator cover below the window. Using the horizontal slats as structural footholds, I ascended deliberately. Now atop the wide painted sill, a clear, wide expanse of the street below stretches outward. Resting next to a glazed ceramic plant pot, I anchored my stance against the gentle morning air. The vantage is exceptional.
