Reclaiming Wonders
A young boy with gray hair is crouched down on the ground in a wooded area, surrounded by fallen leaves and branches. He is intently focused on building a small fire with sticks and twigs. In the foreground, a pair of adult legs in jeans and a blue insulated water bottle can be seen, indicating the presence of a parent or guardian observing the child's activities. The scene suggests an outdoor learning experience or a parent teaching their child camping or survival skills in a natural setting.

Sometimes the best lessons are when you fail... . . Like when Dad insists that trying to start a campfire in the backyard despite the branches from last weekend being green... and sopping wet from a week of rain... and how it just wonā€™t work no matter how much cardboard you add. . . Now to see if this is a life lesson that was learned or just a science experiment in which he got to play with fire.
