Tumalo Week 2: Solitude & Reflection



Tumalo Week 2: Solitude & Reflection


Kab sits during solitude & relfection and writes about his experience


   At Tumalo on Week Two it was Math day! In solitude and reflection we made connections between our day and quotes. Such as- How do mathematicians know what they know and how do we know what they know is true?

    At the beginning of the day when we looked at the quotes and most of us didn't know what they meant. After measuring trees, recording data and doing math that was all related to nature I felt I had a better understanding. With all the going and rushing that day it was nice to sit down and think about what we learned and connect our findings with what mathematicians said throughout history.

Quote: "Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere."
- Blaise Pascal

"It's hard to determine what each author meant about the quote, as we all have different ideas. The first one made me first think that nature is everywhere, that it has no limited space and it can keep improving. It relates to my day with Tumalo about always improving and it seems as if this (the place) could go on forever.
