From the Writing Marathon

Summer Camp

Fanny Fernandez

 

Under the tent I see kids engaging one another,

living the moment, playing, laughing,

open to what’s next,  welcoming adventures,

exploring nature, building communities

creating complicity.

The sun on the horizon, the camp fire,

 the clear water running down the stream

decorate theses magical moments.

What wonderful feelings of no tomorrow.

The now is what matters,

tuned in with our senses

to the human touch, to the summer breeze

to the soothing waters.

What a pleasure to remember what summer
camp was all about.
