a mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. – mary kay ash
moon.
up.
live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. ― ralph waldo emerson
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.
