On Rick Bass's : The Wild Marsh
In defense of taking the classroom outdoors: I'm grateful to that one turtle for the opportunity to help show them (his children) consideration. I'm grateful to the color of the sky at dusk, and to the unique and specific shape of Haystack Mountain to the north, and to the scent of the pine and fir forests early in the spring for helping form that calming matrix, as sense filled and tangible as a bough of fir branches spread beneath one's sleeping bag on a camping trip far back into the mountains, the mythic mountains of childhood.
