Best of Week One

It took me two years, but I am finally beginning to understand what Paul means when he talks about Science as Stories! I think I get it now. Science isn't just as it's stated in our textbooks...everything is meant to be analyzed again and again and again. It's a never ending story and that's what will make it accessible as science is pushed into an inquiry of the subject. I really liked the discussion about the Scientific Method. Now I can explain to my students that the method they've been taught is not about reaching one conclusion, but they should look for other conclusions too. They need to consider that crack that Paul brought to our attention. I missed Friday's morning session, but I am still interested in the unconscious mind that alters our lives. I think this year's group is smaller than I expected, but the intelligence level is WAY up there on that continuum. So I especially enjoyed listening to the opinions of Susan, Joyce, Geneva, Ashley , Kim and Keith. I am getting to see how deep Kim Fuller can be: She exhibits a passion for life and for the unexpected that I had not see in such bloom before. I also realized this week how Paul is really a genius. What a way he has of exploring and explaining so much information is such an easygoing manner.

One thing else- the food is better than last summer. That's why I don't like it when so much is thrown away!
