The first base layer of earthen plaster on the 1200sf Dome floor is done. Now the FUN with the Tibetan style mandala begins. Check out the awesome background of these on… this wiki link
This was the ‘template’ that we started with… below is construction in progress…
we homosapiens are programmed to be tribal - we define ourselves through social circles – from families to communities to countries. Over eons we have set up boundaries and raged battles within and across those boundaries. Modern tribes can range from a group of strangers at Starbucks or 100,000 screaming soccer/football fans and everything in between. Music concerts are as much about the experience of thousands of people elbow to elbow than it is about the music and a stage one can barely see. will we ever see this again? This COVID19 pandemic has pulled the rug of human contact experiences out from under us. I miss that human experience. Living alone in a remote forest sanctuary has many, many blessings, but I direly need human contact at least once a week – even something as lame as sitting in a crowded Starbucks. Lately I’ve enjoyed waiting in long lines at the market. Hey, it’s as close I can get to human contact(lessness?). It feels like a community: a
12,167 hours of washing our bodies. That’s how much life you use, if you spend 20 minutes per day washing and moisturizing your skin and hair (and you live to be 100, as we all surely will). That adds up to nearly two entire years of washing every waking hour. Not to mention water usage and the cost of cosmetic products—which we need , because commercials tell us to remove the oil from our skin with soap, and then to re-moisturize with lotion. Other commercials tell us to remove the oils from our hair, and then re-moisturize with conditioner. And of course we want to smell a certain way afterwards. That’s four shower products —plus a lot of water and time— we use every day. And few people question whether it’s anything short of necessary. It’s not just the fault of advertising, but it's also our own perception that if we go a few days without showering (even one day!?) we will become oily, smelly beasts. But what if you push through the oiliness + smelliness; embrace it, and go
I finally did it. (fair notice: this is a Fred rant) After years of bitchin' about god MZ's* over the top decisions and continued ignorance of common decency and human morality - I DELETED MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT . [ It's not hard - just click on the down arrow in the upper right, click on Settings, find 'deactivation' somewhere (that's the hard part) and keep insisting on permanent deletion as god MZ tries to sway you away. God MZ will still keep all the info he's collected over the years and above all your facial recognition and posts...] Supposedly you'll have to stay away from FB for 30 days and then supposedly all your data will be deleted. That's a bunch of big BULLSHIT - if you believe that, i have some land on the moon I'll sell you cheap :-) on the downside , I won't have access to some wonderful, loving people and businesses that live on FB. But enough is enough. Those wonderful people need to get woke. really woke. They are
