we went outside

on a class hike

 touched stuff

 picked up things

 fell down

 rolled

ran

 played in the water

saw some pretty little stuff

and saw some big and beautiful stuff

and tried to figure out

how to get way up there

 then we found this

and

think it was a message

left for us

and decided it was true

 and our adventure

was even better.

—-

land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life,

the outside, the unknown.

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot.Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, in which he became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults and became one of the world’s best-selling authors. He has been referred to as “one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century”. Among his awards for contribution to literature, he received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 1983, and Children’s Author of the Year from the British Book Awards in 1990. In 2008 The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of “The 50 greatest British writers since 1945.”
