My goal was a large, ugly home-made rocking horse set next to the wall of the house. I would climb onto its broad back, and rock vigorously back and forth while struggling to stay on the slippery brown fabric that covered its round barrel like body. After a while, I’d slide off and head down to the beach to watch the seagulls soaring effortlessly on the wind. How I wished I could join them.
