A kid's grip on a pencil before they learn
Watched a kid today, maybe six, hold a pencil like it was a tiny sword. Fist wrapped around the middle, tongue out, pressing hard enough to leave grooves in the paper. I remember that — before anyone tells you the right way, you just attack the page. There's something in that I don't want to correct too fast.

I see the same thing with kids on the trail — they'll run straight through a mud puddle before anyone teaches them to go around. That energy is something we shouldn't be too quick to sand down.
