to the desert: Geodesic Domes
http://gladbird.blogspot.com/2007/10/geodesic-domes.html
Like a glad bird flying over the road". Tuesday, October 9, 2007. We had a really neat lesson in which we learned all about geodesic domes. I loved it! First we studied the principles of the geodesic design to understand the strength of the different components. We practiced on trays, using chewy candies as the joining material and toothpicks as the struts of the design. Of course this was very fun. Here I am with Adam, Neta and Katie after we finished building the dome! Here's an interesting site. Subsc...

Like a glad bird flying over the road". Sunday, October 28, 2007. We’ve been working on adding “sticky mud” to the ceilings of the domes to cover the metal geodesic frames. We stand on tables and apply the mud, sometimes above our heads! We leave the "sticky mud" work with little mud decorations in our hair. Awesome pose with Efrat and Neta:. We also had a pottery lesson that I loved very much:. Friday, October 19, 2007. A great work week. This week had several practical lessons about new topics, and I r...

Like a glad bird flying over the road". Saturday, September 29, 2007. Hands down, my favorite practical element of the program so far is working on the mud domes in the new Bustan neighborhood. I am glad the domes weren’t done and ready for us to move into when we arrived, because working on these little houses has been incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. I worked on covering the pipe alongside the bottom of the dome:. Working on the domes is especially meaningful after our many theoretical classes about...

Like a glad bird flying over the road". Thursday, November 22, 2007. I don't yet know how to wrap my head around what I learned over the last three months. And maybe it will take a long time for it all to unfold or become defined or complement a path I'll choose. What I know is that I am very, very glad I did the program and that I am where I am right now, even in this confusing, maybe aimless spot. The lessons I've learned, and all the paths that have appeared to me. I feel like this:! The south wall wa...

http://gladbird.blogspot.com/2007/10/day-trip.html
Like a glad bird flying over the road". Friday, October 12, 2007. We went on all-day trip that consisted of three hikes, several stops at archaeological sites, and many spontaneous lessons about geology, cultural history, political history, and desert animals. Sometimes David spoke and explained while we hiked, and other times we paused to listen and observe. In the afternoon we went on a little hike that I thought was pretty scary! Our third hike was through this wadi:. The Arabic script on this rock is...

Like a glad bird flying over the road". Thursday, August 30, 2007. Today we drove to the Golan Heights and went on an incredible hike in the Yehudiya Nature Reserve. Every moment of the hike felt like an exploration, an opening. It's amazing when you get to that point of total communication with the ground you are crossing, when your body learns the dance of balance and you move swiftly across huge rocks and beneath trees and over streams. Abba in front, the beginning:. Mom and Abba crossing a stream:.
