As we reflect on gratitude one thing continues to come to mind, how grateful we are at Elements Nature School to be blessed with such a gift as witnessing children in the outdoors. The way their eyes and souls light up at the tiniest of things; watching a leaf fall from a tree, observing the most perfect rain drop on a tiny leaf, animal prints in the mud... it is all very beautiful and we are simply filled with gratitude.
A warm and happy Thanksgiving to you all!
"For the Children"
- Gary Snyder
The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us.
the steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.
In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.
To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:
stay together
learn the flowers
go light
