At 66 it is nice to know that I can still do all of it with the best of them! I have to confess that it is not as easy now and I do get breathless and exhausted sooner. Fortunately they are sensitive to my limitations and ease me off to less tiring assignments at the work site. It is a bit humbling not to show off as in bygone camps but I guess I will have to get used to that as the years pass by and I weary out more easily.<\/p>\n
It was really an awesome wonderful camp and the group rose up to whatever challenges were thrown at them at work as well as everywhere else.<\/p>\n
Summarising a day in the camp …<\/p>\n
morning double whistle shrill startle<\/p>\n
dream ruptured ..nowhere to hide<\/p>\n
surrender.. up and about folding.. flexing<\/p>\n
exercise rush : stretch jump bend turn<\/p>\n
breakfast interlude : slow and steady<\/p>\n
worksite dramatics song and shuffle<\/p>\n
pick.. shovel ..pass.. dump..empties<\/p>\n
crowbar heroics… gamela line rocks!<\/p>\n
interlude glucose water respite<\/p>\n
return to pick\/shovel rhythm lines<\/p>\n
taken in swing catch stride : no cribbing<\/p>\n
river-time revelry welcome splash<\/p>\n
piping hot lunch bonding break<\/p>\n
team-building.. tea assorted biscuits<\/p>\n
back to worksite spirited energies<\/p>\n
baths.. mellow mass musings<\/p>\n
light and shadow yummmm dinner<\/p>\n
hummm-buzzz inquisitive insects<\/p>\n
questioning invasive presence<\/p>\n
eval time and fun performances<\/p>\n
sportingly dared much encouraged<\/p>\n
time and glory for everyone<\/p>\n
winners all though different endowed<\/p>\n
hush time final night prayer..quiet curtain<\/p>\n
unwrap sleeptime things wrap up all else<\/p>\n
submit to pitch dark neath palm-tarp canopy<\/p>\n
tired dreams.. high above occasional twinkle stars….<\/p>\n
rural camp 2011 : pushing boundaries<\/p>\n
getting there and going beyond!<\/p>\n
terry: october 2011<\/p>\n
We did it too… and it was heart-warming to see how they all went beyond : at work, in sensitivity, in cleanliness and in general camp spirit. More growing up happens when goodwill meets opportunity!<\/p>\n
Rest and recuperation time now and I am glad that we have two whole weeks before college reopens. I need the break.<\/p>\n
Nothing special…just getting things together again and catching up with here and there stuff. You may not want to believe this but I am also getting things ready (electricity connections\/lamps\/rope lines etc) for the 2012 camp! It makes more sense to do it now when I still remember what might be needed and more suitable.<\/p>\n
Celebration season now… bright lights and hopefully non-shattering happy noises!<\/p>\n
happy Diwali!! to you and your family<\/p>\n
Take care. Lots of love, Terry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
