Best Comment Ever

This week a great comment came through at Transom.org, where the radio story of The Land premiered.  

When I first came back from The Land, I showed some rough footage to a few kids I know.   They were hypnotized, oohing, awing, asking:

"What do you do there?"

"Anything, really"

"oh... [lightbulb] AWESOME!"  

Later, I realized the 8 year old had slipped away.   I found him in the play-room building with a cardboard box he'd dragged out of the garage, some other items from the recycle bin, blankets and pillows -- he'd even taken some pictures OFF THE WALL to create the boundaries of his fort. Permission and possibility, they translate quickly.
