A child ascends a staircase built entirely from books, each step uneven, fragile, and stacked by those who came before. Knowledge becomes both the path and the burden, something that must be climbed carefully, one page at a time. The ladder rises, but it is not fixed, not guaranteed, and not offered equally to everyone. Some steps are stable, others worn thin, yet the ascent continues regardless. The Lord’s Ladder reflects on ambition, learning, and the quiet pressure placed on the next generation to climb higher than the last, even when the foundation beneath them feels uncertain.
