A turnaround…
I’ve been doing manual labour-type work at a summer camp, helping to get the property ready for the busy season. In this last week the work has ramped up from part-time to full-time, but my energy has actually ramped up along with it. Today especially, as I was trimming the main spaces of the camp, I was so conscious that this was my last chance to make the place look really good before the arrival of the summer staff. It was a long day of doing the same motions through a cold & rainy morning and a hot afternoon, but at the end of it, instead of longing for dinner and rest – and feeling tired – I was racing to accomplish as much as I could before having to stop – and feeling plenty of energy to draw from. Thoughts of me personally doing work that would later be either appreciated or ignored faded before this clearer and clearer sense of duty: I was not working for my supervisor; I was working for the benefit of all who would be arriving in the coming days. In times like this, when love is the impelling force of my work, food and sleep and weather lose all pretence of having anything to do with my energy.
A turnaround:
Dockside Green redevelopment project –turning 15 acres of contaminated land into the most sustainable development in the world under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. It was nicknamed Darkside (after the cartoon) by staff after previous failures to remediate and sell the land. It broke the mold of land development to show the deeper green you go, the more sustainable (economic, social and environmental) you get. Everything else by comparison is crap, that could have been built this way.
