Dirtbag Diaries: The Shorts – Zones
Growing up, inheritance and parenthood – these themes have quietly woven their way into the Diaries’ fabric. Whether it’s Brendan Leonard’s "Go West" or Steve Bohrer’s "Balance", we’ve explored how parents introduce their children to the natural world. Today, Bob Nydam presents a story about the sometimes painful process of watching a child grow up. It’s a little like geologic processes at hyper-speed. Moments of calm serenity are punctuated by violent upheaval. Even when seemingly, we are in the midst of movement.
