The Red Tent

We have been lost to each other for so long. My name means nothing to you. My memory is dust. It is not your fault, or mine. The chain connecting mother to daughter was broken and the word passed to the keeping of men, who had no way of knowing. That is why I became a footnote, my story a brief detour between the well-known history of my father, Jacob, and the celebrated chronicle of Joseph, my brother. (Diamant, 1997, p. 1) This is the opening of the book The Red Tent, the story of Dinah, daughter of Leah, wife of Jacob.

What Jacob’s bet av gained in materialistic goods, was not worth the cost of relationship with God. Of all Jacob’s shortcomings, his disobedience to God was by far the greatest. If Jacob had listened to God, he would not have put his family at risk, therefore to correct his naughtiness, he must go to Bethel for a…

My rat pack transformed itself into a rat’s nest and revealed that most of the food and clothing were inevitably lost. A hungry and wet weekend acknowledged, we silently pulled the rugged canoe up onto a welcoming sand bar for the night. The camping guide I read had vivid instructions about pitching tents, I did not hesitate to eagerly build the contraption in order to impress my companion. After a few awkward silences, a warm fire, and inevitable bouts of laughter, we decided to continue the…

Once I made a complete lap, I looked ahead of myself to see that even more cicadas lay where I previously picked them up from the fire hot cement. This time, unlike my first trip around the pool, the campers in the pool began to add to the pot by placing the cicadas whom swarmed the pool into the large container. In the end, I only had to make three laps around the pool to fill the ginormous protein powder container to the brim…

our tent and canopy in the breezy ice cold morning. We hung beautiful tapestries on the canopy for a secluded yet magical hangout spot. We placed a table and two chairs under the center of the canopy. On the table, we had a box of tissues, a big bag of hand warmers, an ashtray, and a candle filling the air with the sweet scent of sage. Once the camp was set up Dan and I took off into the woods to search for any scrap wood we could find. After fifteen minutes of searching we found a pile of…

I don’t really like camping, because I hate being outdoors. I’ve always felt that it’s unsafe. As I was packing my bag for the trip, and I felt like this trip was going to be horrible.
