A short winter walk

This fall we received a gift of 5 pairs of snow shoes. We’ve been waiting for snow and it finally came (in abundance). After lunch today, we strapped them on with ease and began our first walk. The walk started out a little tricky as we traversed a steep hill.

After a few hundred yards, we learned one of the most important lessons of snow-shoeing: if one foot is stuck, try moving the other foot.

We made it past the barn and towards the pavilion. The day entered its blueing period and we turned back towards Farmview.

Fears were overcome, high fives exchanged and toes warmed up.

Tomorrow - we venture a little further.

The production, Carlo Pietzner's "And Out of the Night, Kaspar," was one of the many events of the Kaspar Hauser Festival - a four day coming-together spread between the four local Camphill communities. After the logistical difficulties of finding time for a dozen coworkers of different communities to rehearse together, we began the next trying task of unraveling the words of Pietzner. The play takes us on a nonlinear journey across time and space to catch glimpses of Kaspar's interactions with the forces of good and evil. As a young child of royal birth, Kaspar was switched with a sickly infant and henceforth locked away in a small dark basement cell for 15 formative years of his life. Following his sudden release he was haphazardly and bewilderingly integrated into the rest of so...
