the happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist.
for man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

credits: gretchen owoki, let the children play
behold the golden tower.
whoever enters
shall do so
at the
risk and joy
of
gaining
something
they may
never
have imagined.
“oh, yeah. just watch me, i’m taking notes!’
sad i wasn’t able to take them up on this invite.
i didn’t even know curious george drank coffee.
you always learn something at a conference.
it was science day
we made
solutions and color swirls
learned about buoyancy
floated and sunk things
then
we met
two big horses
a baby cow from scotland
a ball python
and
came back to our room
where we met
a friendly silverback gorilla
and an anthropologist
who told us all about him
and he shared
his celery snack
and one of
the best discoveries of all
was when we found out
all on our own
that we could
make secret forts
under the big kid’s science table
it was so great
to have a special day for science
but then every day
is really science day
if we just look around.
we met the bats
learned about
all the good they do
micro bats
mega bats
brown bats
fruit bats
how important they are
to our world
and
we will try
to do our part
to help
save the bats.

‘turn on the dark, i’m afraid of the light.”

kinders size up the leaves
that are
like nothing they’ve seen before
much bigger than their heads
with a color
like shiny crayons
they must be
leftover
from the time of the dinosaurs.

the world is a giant puzzle that hasn’t been put together yet,
and were trying to
find the other piece of this puzzle that goes with us.

“for the things we have to learn before we can do them,
we learn by doing them.”
