for a while I just sit there, in the cooling shade of my favorite tree. everything is perfect. perfect as can be, under my favorite tree that loves and adores the company of me. soon I tire just sitting there, and so I start to climb up its smooth, brown bark...up into the branches so high. I start to slip, but it catches me, and lets me know I'm safe...even when the wind pushes me, and when I look out at the sky up high because its my favorite tree, that loves and adores me.

The Time Capsule: A Place to Call Your Own
 
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an archeologist, traveling the world and digging up precious artifacts from another time?
 
At WhatAreKidsSaying.com, using your time capsule, you can become your own archaeologist and preserve the ideas and items you cherish most.  Then, you can dig your personal time capsule later and discover what was important to you at different points in your life. Some of our younger scribes are only in elementary school or freshmen in high school. In addition to being able to earn thousands of Gold Nuggets for writing that will one day pay for their college education, our scribes can also look back on their own growth as a writer and a person by storing their work in their time capsule to review years later.
