It's amazing how much kids like buckets!

At the gardenofeden@gardenofeden, I have taken dozens of pictures of small children
immersed in buckets with only their heads sticking out!
It doesn't seem to matter if the bucket is empty or not.
It's like there is a call from the bucket for those little bodies to get in!

"BUCKET BABY"

Is there anything like this that adults do?
Do we feel called to climb into a box?
Curl up in a 55 gallon barrel?
Sit in a sheet draped fort under table or a maze of chairs?
How about hiding behind the curtains or
crawling behind the couch?

Maybe we have already figured out our body size
and spacial relationship with things
so we are no longer intrigued.

Or perhaps we have simply lost that lighthearted connection
that just calls to experience life in different realities,
experimenting with the feeling of full-on immersion in our environment,
or the enjoyment of unusual perspectives?

Many of us have forgotten how to play,
how to make change from our everyday experience
and engage a different reality.
Many of us continue our lives with the same perspectives,
never really feeling the joys of a whole new world,
or exploring the possibilities of uncommon circumstance.

Go curl up in a barrel, and share with me your experience!

I took the "Bucket Baby" photo through this green bottle
and the screen of my kitchen window.
