The awareness in U.S to keep nature and give the animals space to live is very impressive. Only with such tradition one can develop so beautiful animation films about animals. It was natural that in the night we should sleep outside near the beach of the pacific ocean, on property that belongs to Jacobs family.
Twice during the summer trip we slept outside on ground. The first time was in San Diego and the second time was in the Negev desert in Israel.
To my generation to sleep on the ground seems natural and part of behavior of loving the country. The teenagers did not complain but I did not feel that they really understood the meaning of that night.
Gary , Jerri-Ann and the children that hosted us brought everything we needed: dinner and breakfast, generator for light, toilette, water….
After we gathered from home hospitality, we made Havdala, a Jewish ceremony, San Diego teenager's parents took part in that ceremony. Later two music players performed with oriental music. The tones of the guitar and the Tambourine were likeable to my ears. The teenagers danced and sang, tired but very satisfied they entered the sleeping bags and slept very well during the chilly night. The morning came and we were ready for a new day of activities.
The questions that rose to my mind:
A. What is so special in the American education about keeping nature? Is it stand against development or making money?
B. Does sleeping all together outside, under the sky makes people feel more closeness? Make any relationship between man and land? Man and nature?
C. Is there something more calmingthen looking at the sea, the ocean, or hearing the
wave's sounds?
