Oh, the Love of Inspired Work!

We went to the beach yesterday with tools.
No, not a bucket and small plastic shovel. They brought a metal spade shovel and hoe!

I love the way they work. So happy busting up the hard clay around the beach. Laughing as they mined a small piece and added it onto a "transport" to take to their "den" where they (and it seems many other children) have collected treasures from the beach.

They worked hard and laughed often for an hour as the beautiful winter sun set on our day. All I could think was how joyously we work, when we are inspired to do the work, instead of being told to do it.

That is what unschooling is all about for me.
Inspiration and Freedom... as we do our work in life.
