Children Quote by Melanie Hoffert
““As a child when I visited my grandparents near the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming I felt claustrophobic. The mountains seemed to block the sky and my eyes were forced to stop, when they were used to looking for miles across flat fields that didn’t end, but simply rolled up into the sky.””
