turning yourself toward the earth. Then jump. You must not force yourself to stay steady. You must move forward.”

4. Question of the day
5. Inspiration
A super simple String story- Ms. Anne Glover.
Alice in Wonderland story with strings
“The essential thing is to etch movements in the sky, movements so still they leave no trace. The essential thing is simplicity. That is why the long path
to perfection is horizontal.” Philippe Petit
“Start at the North Pole and travel due south for about 6,200 miles, having marked your initial direction. Then turn to your left and go the same distance one more time. 6,200 miles is roughly the distance from the North Pole to the equator, so your journey will have taken you to the North Pole to the equator, a quarter of the way round the equator, and back to the North Pole again. Moreover, the direction at which you arrive back will be at right angles to your starting direction. It follows that on the earth’s surface there is an equilateral
triangle with all its angles equal to a right angle. On a flat surface, the angles of an equilateral triangle have to be 60 degrees, as they are all equal and add up to 180, so the surface of the earth is not flat.”

6. Homework - Today, you will write/design your own story with string. Use whatever string you want. We generally prefer nylon, but every type is good.
