I read about an old stairway that has no pillar for support to each stair. A miracle.

Kim, so much to get from each short line. I'm asking myself what each line has in common beside a rhyme? I see it as the gift that certain things present to us continuously. Making me smile!

I toured an old convent in New Orleans. The stairs circled upward and were near a clock in a long wooden box. The clock still works though they found it floating in water. Prayers because nuns used to go up and down steps. The staircase is closed to the public.
