Focusing on Sticks

"Now my tree-climbing days long behind me, I often think about the lasting value of those early, deliciously idle days. I have come to appreciate the long view afforded by those treetops. The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses." Richard Louv

I have spent weeks watching him gather sticks, building shelter-forts, and then taking them down just to build them again.  Such focus!
