"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be".....Rachel Carson

Rivage mystique
« L’incompréhensible semble bien nous faire signe du fond des paysages. C’est le noyau de l’expérience de la beauté du monde. » Alexandre Lacroix, philosophe
Ce paysage chaotique m’hypnotisait
Comme si je l’avais toujours connu,
Mais, pourtant, jamais vu.
Il était ni beau ou charmant,
Ni laid ou terrifiant
Plutôt terriblement inhumain,
Antérieur à la vie elle-même,
Dont on voyait des traces éparses
Accrochées aux rugosités des rochers.
Je pouvais le voir, le toucher, le ressentir sous mes pieds
Sentir l’air salin
Regarder danser des nuages improbables
Entendre les chants de la Terre
Jouer les harmoniques élémentaires.
Et pourtant, je ne trouvais pas les mots
Pour expliquer l’attirance étrange que ce paysage avait sur moi.
Un peu comme un savoir qui se cherche
Dans des origines impénétrables, lointaines et indicibles,
Dont nous portons des traces.
L’orage approchait, menaçant
Et le mystère m’enveloppa.
Patrice photographiste, Chroniques du Monde de Poësia

“The incomprehensible seems to beckon us from the background of the landscapes. It is the core of the experience of the beauty of the world” - Alexandre Lacroix, philosopher
This chaotic landscape hypnotized me
As if I had always known it,
But, yet, never seen.
It was neither beautiful or charming,
Neither ugly or terrifying
Rather terribly inhuman,
Anterior to life itself,
Of which we saw scattered traces
Clinging to the roughness of the rocks.
I could see it, touch it, feel it under my feet
Smell the salty air
Watch unlikely clouds dance
Hear the songs of the Earth
Play the elementary harmonics.
And yet I couldn't find the words
To explain the strange attraction that this landscape had on me.
A bit like a knowledge that seeks itself
In impenetrable, distant and unspeakable origins,
Of which we bear traces.
The storm was approaching, threatening
And mystery enveloped me.

"Knowledge"
by Jacob Lee
Sit close
Let me tell you every truth I know
I could read you poetry and prose
We could contemplate the syllables
If you so wish for it
If so
Let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Watch the branches replicate your bones
Place the precious palms among your own
Be the water and the boat, and so I stow
Every thought that lies inside of me
Atop the shelves, amidst my library
So when you're older you may visit me
When I'm at peace
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
It's okay if you don't understand just yet
Speak slow
Let me ask before I take a note
May I read a couple words you wrote?
Every page you touch, the letters glow
From the ashes do we grow
And I boast
I can comprehend the words you spoke
You're the writer and the quote, and so I hope
Every thought that lies inside of me
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
So I may bestow our legacy
Like you to me
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
Like facing your fears without feeling frightened
I'll never know if I'm yet to try it
I'll do my best to stay open-minded
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until understand, I do, oh
look in the eyes. Eyes show you wether it is a herbivore or a predator. The Eyes of a herbivore are at the sides of the and often they have a horizontal slot. So they can see movements better. Predators need a clear knowledge of the distance, their eyes are in front of the head and very sharp

Con questo nome, in senso metaforico, i Romani designavano la casa, la quale in origine, essendo separata dalle case vicine per mezzo di uno spazio libero di due piedi e mezzo (ambitus), rassomigliava a un'isola.
Eng.
With this name, in a metaphorical sense, the Romans designated the house, which originally, being separated from the neighboring houses by a free space of two and a half feet (ambitus), resembled an island.

Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."
The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation,
are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree,
and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

This tree stands on a bank of the Saddle Brook, its roots tenuously holding on to very eroded soil. You can see the open roots on the bottom of this photo. It is a favorite tree of mine, a symbol of perseverance in the face of peril.
"I'm only lonely
When the night is home
Controlling for me
'Til my right is wrong
Nothing's the way it seems
When things go wrong
I know me, know me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Everytime I...
Close my eyes I...
Dream about your face
Nothing can replace
Everytime I...
Close my eyes, your
Voice I can't retrace
Nothing can replace
Nothing can replace
I know you told me that you won't be long
Time lapse and I'm trapped in another's arms...
I am too cold, I long for your warmth
I'm not me, got me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Far away
I'm all alone
I'm on my own..." - Ravyn Lenae ♫

KNOWLEDGE is the topic for Wed Jan 13 2021 Group Our Daily Challenge.
This guy was clever enough to grab the nuts that park visitors were feeding squirrels with, before a squirrel could spot them, which is a sign of knowledge.
Wikipedia says:
Ravens and crows are among the most intelligent birds. For example, they show in experiments the ability to plan complex actions. When hiding food, they show both great memory skills and the ability to empathize with others. A raven seems to know that a food hiding place is only safe if it is not observed while hiding. In addition, ravens show an amazing learning behavior (making tools, using road traffic to crack nuts and fruits....
San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.
***
Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.
***
The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).
***
Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.

Real knowledge, or what is better called wisdom, is not a triumph over mystery but a rapport with the mystery—and with the meaning for which it stands.

Dante had become a not unfamiliar figure in Verona. Boccaccio tells of several Veronese ladies who saw him walking by one day. They were struck and a little frightened by his appearance, his face fixed in gloom and smudged as though by soot, his beard bristling as though tinged with fire. He seemed, they thought, a character emerging from his own Inferno.
-R. W. B. Lewis, Dante; A Life
It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.
