dailybell: looking for a date

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

looking for a date

So back to the drawing board. Norman thought that it would be easier, lighter and faster to make a steel stand to support the bell. It is much more spare and elegant than the wooden one would have been. I rang the bell as it was hanging from the new stand this morning and it works really well.

Tomorrow we should be able to put it into the car. Yahooooo! I will have to change the message on the side of the car. It still reads “thebellproject.blogspot.com” as it has for the last year.
