Many, many thanks to the Cornwall Day Camp as a wonderful host. You just gotta love the kids.
It was so very nice to talk to this curious, intelligent group of children today about the expedition and Global Warming.
"How do you get in?"
"What's the motor?"
"How fast do you go?"
"Where do you get your water?"
"How do yo clean your clothes and take showers?"
I really like when kids start thinking about the challenges of an expedition like this and how the problems could be solved.
As I take a break from fixing another rear tire flat on the outskirts of Charlottetown, I'm thinking about how much promise there is in youth. With each generation the promise of new hope.
Yet again and again it seems to me youth grows to maturity and the clarity of understanding and purpose is eroded by compromise and what is considered necessity. The same patterns are followed by successive generations.
Talking with this group of young people today energizes me again.
A boy asked, "What fuel do you use?"
You.
