Wonder
Low tide is the best time for tideline archeology. We rowed to Buoy Park. Just landing on a new dock and approaching the city from a new entry portal is a big deal when you think about it. But the low tide revealed an all but sunken cement pier. We called historians, we speculated, we wondered about its origins. We found no answers. Only wonder.
That’s the education, right there. Wonder. Kids and adults both need time and space and the freedom of thought to just wonder.
As one of the students observed, beaming brightly, “Why can’t we do this every day?”
