"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.

I read an article the other day, called "The Age of Disorder" on RT.com, which in accordance to analysts from Deutsche Bank, we are heading toward a decade of uncertainty and instability, the elite's plandemic/scamdemic, the worsening relationship between US & China. The one thing the article didn't mention was that of the ground level stuff, the sociological collapse of unity (as if we ever had in the first place) the likes of Antifa and the EDL, BLM (Black va Blue), Feminism vs the MRAs and so on and so on, etc, etc.

One thing I have found in photography is the escapism from all this, photography granting the ability (for those who have it) to live in a world of utter chaos but be transfixed by the hues & tones of a flower, or how the grass moves in the wind, the changing colours of leaves on trees, for a moment to be completely, absolutely absorbed and delightfully distracted by the acquisition of artistic endeavours via a camera and a bit of knowledge.

Photography, like all real art (real art, none of this new age crap) is the salvation of the soul(s) of mankind, and I would recommend it to anyone whose willing to learn.

So, with that said, have a great weekend everyone, and as always, thank you! :)

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

My sun bursted like a star this evening

I had a blast on my hike today

Up to the top where my lake is and there she was waiting for me

All shining

And bursting

Not always easy to get the burst correct

Sometimes it spreads too much and gets all these colours

But this was the best

I was of course thrilled in all my joy of getting a tiny bit more knowledge about this lovely photo-hobby of mine

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 ♫

As seen in the dining room at Scotney Castle ... the table is normally laid out for dinner, so this was something different to see all the old books.

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.

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!
