Build a Shelter
Everyone needs a nest.
Do all children build forts? What is it, innately in us, that longs to build a shelter? Animals do it–or they find one... Do you remember the delight you felt, as a young person, on discovering a cave, a secret grotto, a tucked away place that you could hide in? There is something essential about this, it seems. And a shelter has, as well, psychological dimensions.
