As well as opening doors, the children made dens: the doors allowing access and adventure, the dens permitting retreat and shelter. Young children are, as all parents know, natural den makers.*
Robert Macfarlane

In the most connected time in history, we’re quickly losing touch with ourselves.**
Ryder Carroll

I need doors and dens,
Goings and comings,
Outs and ins,
Their rhythm bringing me alive:
Door den door den door den;
Sometimes,
Door door den door den den door den,
Or,
Den door door door den den door den den –
But not,
Door door door door door,
And never,
Den den den den den den.

I hope I remember.
