Staircase of the Bavarian State Library - built between 1832-1841 - Munich - Germany
Again a moment of perfect light in this splendid library.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."
Chief Seattle
Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.
In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.
"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
Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
La strada che porta alla conoscenza è una strada che passa per dei buoni incontri.
The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.
(Baruch Spinoza)
To learn things. Like travelling into an endless tunnel. I say this because you will never learn it all. There will always be more.
Happy Slider Sunday
"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 knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

This was just a test shot ahead of my planned evening shoot, but to be honest I prefer this daytime version on account that the colours show up better, especially the middle mustard section and roof cylinder. And the new pool does lend itself for some great reflections.
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....

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.
- Story of the Day - By Brian Andreas
Harrow school library. The Vaughan Library is over 150 years old and was designed in Victorian Gothic style by George Gilbert Scott, who also conceived St Pancras Station in London. Refurbished and enlarged 23 years ago, it is staffed today by qualified librarians and open daily for boys to study, browse and enjoy a quiet space.
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.
-Approaching God, The Way of Abraham Joshua Heschel, John C. Merkle
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
Forboding, expectant? or just a beautiful soul warmed by the light...this is one of those photoshop as therapy things...maybe I should just take it down...? I'm feeling a little intense these days...

Era bellissima, lei, e guardava sempre il mare. Per poter vedere quegli occhi, lui, il mare lo tenne sempre alle spalle. E non lo vide mai.
She was beautiful, her, and always looked at the sea. In order to see those eyes, he, the sea always kept behind. And he never saw him.

Did you know that the leaves and bulb of a Daffodil contain toxic alkaloid called Lycorine. This substance keeps predators (except certain types of insects) on a safe distance. Due to toxic sap in the stem, daffodil should not be kept in the vase with other plants (it is harmful for them). Facts found at www.softschools.com/facts/plants/daffodil_facts/675/
To my knowledge the Roseate Spoonbills in Florida are still scattered around and haven’t yet begun their rookery for this season’s nesting. One morning at Wakodahatchee Wetlands a couple hung around after sunrise and acted like they were looking for a nesting site. They do this every year in an effort to purposedly raise our hopes, only to dash them when they disappear to nest somewhere else. Well, I’m not falling for it this year!
