Dear Children of the Earth
At Rolling Ridge Study Retreat Community
May 6-7, 2011
Annual retreat for children ages 6-12 and their parents,
grandparents or mentors
In our grasshopper and salamander days, who among us didn't ask why the grasshopper could jump so far -- or why the salamander had black dots on its orange body. We lived by wonder, for by wondering we were able to multiply a growing consciousness of being alive.
-- Richard Lewis, Living by Wonder
