"When Gus got older he went to rock climbing classes. He learned how to use ropes and carabineers to reach the top. Gus liked stretching his body out in all directions. He found tiny cracks where his fingers could hang on and little spaces where his toes could grip.
He heard the rocks call, "Reach out for your dreams. Hold on tight. When it's time to reach for another dream, let go and push on."
