Finding the Beat

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! My balance clicked into place. A gentle pulse traveled through my tiers, from my lowest block right to the top of my tallest column. I blinked through my rainbow frames into the quiet dark. Carefully, I lifted one foot and tapped it against the solid surface beneath me with a crisp, clear click. Then I swung my left arm inward and tapped my lowest block step. Firm, steady, and perfectly aligned. I can stand, I can tap, and all my blocks are wide awake.
