Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant.

"‘NCOPP’ ‘O SCOGLIO"
(Poesia letta all'assemblea delle Nazioni Unite a New York)
Che strana cosa ch' è sta pecundrìa
‘o core int’ 'a na roccia ‘mpriggiunato,
cerca ‘e se libberà 'e sta malatia,
ma nun 'a tene 'a forza , è scunsulato.
‘Ncopp’ a stu scoglio va sbattenno ll’onna
ca vene a se 'mbruglia' comme 'e penziere,
sta scumma janca ll'anema me ‘nfonne,
me parla comme fa na cunsigliera.
E m'accumpagna chesta voce 'e mare
ca chianu chianu ‘a capa m’ha acquitato,
facennome scurda' tutto ll’amaro
ca dint’ ‘o core mio steva astipato.
di Carmen Auletta
"ON THE ROCK"
(Poem has been read at ONU in New York)
How strange is this melancholy,
the heart, imprisoned into a rock,
tries to get rid of this sickness,
but has no strength, it's uncomforted
The wave dashes on this rock,
it comes and fades in as the thoughts do,
this white foam wets my soul,
talks to me as a counselor does
And with me is this voice of the sea
that calmed me little by little,
making me leave behind all the bitterness
that was preserved into my heart.
by Carmen Auletta
I see some great colors as I do the images I do. But some how it always feels like wisdom is flying around in the colors here.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

Bearing band number 7333, "Wisdom" is the oldest known wild bird in the Northern Hemisphere at 60+ years old. She hadn't been seen since before the tsunami, but returned to her chick at the end of the day on Sunday.

Every day I try to seek #Wisdom in contemplation, meditation, study, and silence. So this week's Flickr Friday was an easy one for me to get in touch with.

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 Dimension 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!

The wisdom of a child, and the subtle, fleeting nature of language. The wind, much like words, is not tangible; and can never be touched, only felt.
the language of the photograph has stayed with me for years; a child who's face still elludes my memory, shifting into the shadow of time.

"Stupidity is not knowing a little.
Nor is wanting to know a little. Stupidity is believing you know enough."

The opening quote from the Men's Health Summit, Canadian Urological Society, University of Toronto. The quote was meant to introduce statistics on the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Applicable to most diseases, Machiavelli was really writing about politics in his day. In many ways it is applicable to the reality of political change the world is now facing.
WISDOM
I had been walking for some time off the beaten track in Varanasi when I came across this guy walking towards me. We made eye contact and both stopped immediately. I could not help notice that he had in his possession a cloth that was wrapped around him, his necklace and one rather spectacular fork thing.
We stood there on the road for about 10 minutes chatting. It would have been easy for me to dismiss him as a mad man, well look at him. What ensued was a very long walk together through the main shopping road of Varanasi all the way through the main Ghat and down to the river together. We got a few pretty weird looks from both other tourists, and other indian people which I thought was classic.
For the 10 minutes we stood here, the walk down to the river and the 10 or so minutes we were together at the river Ganges we shared some of the most beautiful ideas and thoughts between us. I couldn't help thinking that a man that has so little (apparently) can of course focus on the important things.
The conversation was incredibly coherent, and the wisdom that came from this man was astonishing. An example. We were talking about what changed with british rule and how things have been different since they left. He felt that India was a country worse off for the time England ruled the nation because all they did was take from the country and the people with no thanks or gratitude for any of it and thought they had done good because they made the country more "civilised". He felt that this behaviour was now ingrained into the people ruling the country now that wasn't so present before. He conveyed this significantly more coherently than I have here, but you get the dea. This was not a mad man. We also talked at length about the desire for possessions, and he gave me a beautiful description of why the Ganges is such a special piece of water.
I met many people, both simple (yet incredibly complex) men like this guy and business men on trains who seemed super open to sharing their wisdom with me. These are an inherently spiritual people I think. I heard some of the most simple ideas that just resonated with me, and should help me live my life in a better way.
Peace, Denis

A cherry tomato taken for Macro Mondays theme 'Wisdom' .........'Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, Wisdom is knowing not to put it into a fruit salad!'............I first heard this about 3 years ago when Brian O'Driscoll (the former captain of the Irish rugby team) slipped it into one of his answers at a press conference. I since found out it was a dare....view here www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpLd-Vi8qZA I think it was originally said by Miles Kington (a British journalist)......Knowledge does not equate wisdom , wisdom is something more, some seem to be born with it, some pick it up along the way, it doesn't always belong to the old but age helps! I think wisdom is basically having a bit of 'cop on'!...http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1476193

There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in ...
Leonard Cohen
Your wisdom can't always be your shield against outer threats, it can help.. but not always. Evil will always find a way to get to you in so many different ways.
No matter how wise you can be.. you still need the support and assistance of some one... so don't let your wisdom shield stop you from reaching for that help.
