Returning from life in the woods with 10-year-olds is a rough transition. I spent last week in just such an alternate reality, which was lovely, both in its own right, and for its difference from the day-to-day goings on in my office, which are all-consuming unless you are forced to take a break. Four days in the woods will do anyone a world of good. Four days with 10-year-olds makes it magical if you let it.
This trip to the woods marks a end of sorts to my Thesis Fieldwork. I have much more material to write about than I initially anticipated. The structure of the writing itself remains a bit of mystery, but I have to get going on that before I get to far from the experiences. I just don't want it to be boring.
great drawings, alex. although four days with 10 year olds is good for you, i'm sure it would be downright terrifying for others. was this a retreat? part of a bigger project?
