'I believe that we look for people who wear our secrets'.
If this is true (and I'm convinced it's not), the world and life in general would practically be sorted. We wouldn't be engaging ourselves in the pointless exercise of emotions and feelings, and trying to work out what they mean and if they mean anything of any actual worth, because nothing would ever need to be expressed if we saw our secrets in others; a telepathic empathy in the constructs of a utopian society (which, by the way, doesn't exist).
Merry Christmas.

Let the wise man not boast of his wisdom, but rather of knowing the Lord.
This is what we should pass on to our children.
🇪🇸
No se gloríe el sabio de su sabiduría, sino gloríese de conocer al Señor.
Eso es lo que deberías transmitir a los niños.
🇩🇪
Der Weise rühme sich nicht seiner Weisheit, sondern er rühme sich den Herrn zu kennen.
Das ist es was man den Kindern weiter geben soll.
This photo is one of mine that got accepted into New Pennies again this year! New Pennies is my schools Literary Magazine. The photo got accepted and I had done it a few years ago, but seeing as it got in I re-edited it. So here it is!
Here's the original.

Curiosity results in knowledge, but wisdom is a function of time. It comes with age, thought and profound observation.

Nor is wanting to know a little. Stupidity is believing you know enough."

Greetings flickr fans! Many more uploads soon! I have been busy writing, traveling, and shooting! I finished my books on the Tao of Epic Landscape Photography and the Golden Number Ratio Principle! I oft incorporate the golden ratio in my landscape compositions, and you'll also see it in the design and proportion of the 45surf clothes and surfboard and gun logos (More golden ratio information at my facebook page facebook.com/goldennumberratio). Message me on facebook for free review copies of my books here: facebook.com/mcgucken ! :)
I'm working on a book on photographing epic goddesses too! What should I title it? :)
facebook.com/goldennumberratio
Full titles: The Tao of Epic Landscape Photography: Exalt Fine Art with the Yin-Yang Wisdom of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
And: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean !
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them! :)
Enjoy the epic landscape and goddess and photography and note the golden ratio overlays in some of the photos, as well as the golden ratio in the Birth of Venus painting by Botticelli!
I've been on the road shooting landscapes in Zion, Yosemite, the Eastern Sierras, Big Sur, and more!
Many of you have seen my physics formula dx4/dt=ic for Light Time Dimesnion Theory on a lot of the 45surf clothing and in the fine art landscape logos. I finally finished the first book of many on the foundations of photography's best friend--light:
Light Time Dimension Theory: The Foundational Physics Unifying Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
All the best on your epic hero's odyssey!

Was so fortunate to be able to photograph the epic Zion glow this year in the Narows aod Zion National Park!
We are told wisdom comes with age
But I believe wisdom comes from….
Pain, hardship, loss, sadness, joy, happiness, good times
We must have at least some of these things in our life at some point
To not only have wisdom
But to also have compassion, empathy
For without good and hard times in our life
We can learn nothing.
If we only have good and happy
How can we ever understand
Sadness, loss and pain when we ourselves have never experienced it
And if we only ever have
Bad, pain and loss
How can we ever understand
Joy, love and happiness
if we have never experienced it
Without a portion of each emotion we are only half of what we are meant to be
What are we meant to be?
Wiser I hope,
filled with compassion, empathy, kindness, helpfulness, understanding, caring, and joy
Filled with the wisdom of what it is....... to truly Love
And know what Love means
What are we meant to be?
Better than what we have become
Lightning strikes under my fingers, signs of death before my birth. There's a blueness between the world and me, a glassy vision of cloudy wisdom, and raindrops in the words. You just might catch a syllable sighing, splashing on the surface, hoping to worm its way in. The world out here is just crying for contrast, a little something growing out of the grey. Green is slow with no worry for rushing, and I'm treading familiar ground on the old shore road. Mystery is a heavy load, but it's far better than having all the answers, and I've got near to none. I'm just stumbling to where time is coming along.
