Aprils's Spring work week gushed into action along with
some heavy rain and heavy work. Wheel barrowing great amounts of pebbles from
shore to the new polytunnel with its fancy drainage network. Bridges were
rebuilt, along with new friendships. Walls painted, seeds planted, work benches
designed and built. Floors oiled, bags sewn and lovely meals cooked with daily
home made bread and scones to keep the troopers going on. Reflections led by
candle light including a hike to witness the closing of the day at night. Stars
and moon were gazed upon through a telescope gift. Jokes followed the rhythm
and pattern of Camas fashion, often, daft and funny.
It was a time when men from Glasgow meditated and
contemplated becoming vegetarian. Thank you to the very kind people who gave
of themselves to support the Camas mission. Here's the poem we made together at the end of a hard working week...
I have useful hands
I have usefulhands...
and I made some plans,
I drilled a hole
and moved some sand.
I lit a candle
and sowed some seams.
I monkeyd around,
sowed some bags,
planted some lettuce
baked some bread.
I made some soup
and I made a bridge.
I scrubbed a floor
then mades some scones.
I played with water,
drew a picture,
painted a bed
and in the end,
I painted a shed.
