because imagination, although it takes its form & delights in the minds of children, exists even outside of that.
i present to you 826la's city labs masterpiece:
'alpacas from the moon: why polar bears can't swim forever'
a dazzling piece about the voyage of a transgendered alpaca named kris with a non-profit, pharmaceutical side-kick named sonya, from the moon to brazil. they discover capoiera and trapeze artistry, cross deserts, moons, and the great salt flats, all on foot and in a veggie-oil powered van.
endings ranged from blood that will save the world, a pistachio that fought off encroaching polar bears, and more.
i think one of the most amazing things about my time at 826la is my own realization that the boundaries i set for myself are far too small.
that if i can help a second grader bring chicken little's love life to reality, i can certainly bring my own dreams into existence.
