What I learned while camping…

In: Good Stuff|Uncategorized

Had a wonderful time camping this weekend with Brian, Billie, and Phoebe and learned lots.

I learned that comfort is an important part of camping and that great food is not the end of radical thinking – sleeping is a territory of camping ready for new thought and I think I’m ready to move away from my tiny camp pillow to a bigger, fluffier pillow. i.e., Go for long term pleasure over short term pain.

I learned that even if you don’t know the details of how to start a fire by hand with nothing but sticks there is no harm, and much to gain, in trying, asking questions, and trying again. i.e., Enjoy the learning experience.

I learned that the art of building sand castles is alive and well and done in much more detail than I had ever tried myself. i.e., when working on any project commit oneself fully to the fullest aesthetic outcome.

And more, I’m sure.

I learned that even in the wilderness it pays to be true to yourself. In my case, obsessively organized and optimistic!

And I learned how to light a fire the easy way. Hahaha.

Ahh! Caster sugar! That’s the super fine sugar the sand felt like.
