I'm overwhelmed with the learning that is happening in this photo. We're rigging out Niagara. The kids are putting seizings on the rig to keep the masts in place. Real work, no joke. The kind of work that not only demands they turn a tight seizing, but that they remain comfortable aloft while they do it. It demands commitment and courage both on the part of the kids in the photo and the crew who assigned them such an important task.
Have our 21st lives become so shallow that we no longer have important, demanding tasks that we can ask of our youth? Or are we as adults hording these tasks for ourselves to give our own lives more meaning?
