I so enjoyed reading this and realizing that as children we were always finding places, inside and out, to construct a fort, a place where we could be the boss. A small private place of my own is still desirable, I just don’t call it a fort anymore.
For sure--children have so little control over their world, it's no wonder. I remember a hollowed-out redwood stump near our house in Guerneville; it had "fort" written all over it. Thanks for reading!
