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

the philosophy which does not laugh
and the greatness which does not bow before children.”

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 duo tone take on the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen City. Looking down from the 7th floor through the central atrium to ground level. This stunning architecture was designed by Danish Architects.

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 ♫

After capturing several images of the European Garden spiders in their webs, I realized my knowledge of a spider's anatomy was sorely lacking. In the hopes that you, too, enjoy learning new things, here you go! www.earthlife.net/chelicerata/s-anatomy.html
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

A geological hammer, in memory of Mary Anning (1799-1847) from Lyme Regis/Dorset, fossil collector and lay palaeontologist and one of the key figures in the discovery of dinosaurs. She was not an "Anglican gentleman", not part of the establishment, but a dissenter and a woman and as such not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. "The world has used me so unkindly", she wrote. Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F 0.95; reflector used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.

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.

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...
Knowledge is like a garden, it needs to be constantly organized, weeds must be removed, and plants must be pruned to have space to grow new plants, so the key to learning is not accumulation, but rehabilitation.
We are celebrating the Old New Year! I congratulate you on this! Let all your dreams come true!
In Russia, according to statistics, about half of the country's population celebrates the Old New Year, gathering around the festive table.
The Old New Year came into our culture together with the old style of chronology.
In 1918, the Bolshevik government decided to change the calendar. Tsarist Russia lived according to the Julian calendar, and Europe according to the Gregorian calendar. The first was created in the Roman Empire and was based on ancient Egyptian astronomy. The Gregorian calendar was more accurate, it was created in the 16th century taking into account the latest knowledge about the structure of the universe. The difference between the two systems of calculation was 13 days and created inconveniences for conducting international political and economic affairs and led to funny incidents in everyday life. For example, according to the dates on postmarks, it turned out that a telegram was received in Europe several days earlier than it was sent in Russia.
The transition to the Western European calendar took place on February 14, 1918. According to the decree, the main goal of the entire project was "to establish in Russia the same calendar as almost all cultural nations." An unusual holiday also appeared - the Old New Year, that is, the New Year according to the old style, which was not forgotten by the people. However, the Old New Year was not celebrated as widely as the night from December 31 to January 1.
