I love the idea of each page becoming a stepping stone leading to a deeper understanding of the self--such a poetic image. You make good use of the form here and I hope this does well in the contest!

This is a very nice six liner. It is well thought out and meaningful. I like the analogy of a stone stairway (which I like a little better than staircase). It is so true that our heart resides in what we write.
I wish you the best on this very worthy contest entry.
