This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

A visit to Crystal Bridges
I visited the Crystal Bridges Museum site in Bentonville today and got a tour from the museum director. It is an awesome development that will have tremendous impact on Northwest Arkansas. You can begin to understand the scale when you look closely at the photo and realize that those are people walking around down in the bottom of the valley. This photo was taken from an overlook along the bike trail where in the not too distant future, local residents can visit regularly to observe the march toward completion.
Regular readers will remember that Crystal Bridges will be the home of the walnut bench I featured earlier in the blog.
It was a beautiful day to be outdoors. You can click on the photo to get a larger view.
