"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."

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.
After spending time in Ireland's countryside, we headed to Dublin to return our rental car. It was exciting to be in this vibrant city wiith so much historical charm and lots of great things to see & do!
This is the Long Room, with it's oak ceiling and two levels of bookshelves holding some of Ireland's most ancient and valuable volumes in the oldest part of the Library at Trinity College and still in constant use... since 1732.

A lighthouse is a guidance for real, like in a building
For some reason lighthouses have always fascinated me
A guidance in your life is your intuition
As hard as it can be
As easy as it can be
It's always there
Whispering
We tend to listen more to our ego tho
Our ego always have the arguments, the solutions
Why to do things
How to do things
Definitely how and why not to do things
It's often the easy way-solutions or the more fun stuff to do
Your ego keeps on building up arguments why it's smart to follow the egos way
Be aware when you repeatedly think the same arguments over and over again
It's your ego talking, it never whispers
It's cool to know tho, now you can choose to listen if you want, either it's the ego or the intuition
I love knowing
Knowledge rules
I just have to add this little music for you, I love Pink Floyd, it totally rules :D
I haven't heard this one before.
Talking to a loved one today, while this one was playing in the background, totally made this music a lovely piece of art the rest of my day.
We took an evening visit to Bow Lake in the hope of getting a nice sunset. Sadly it wasn't to be but I had a chance to play with long exposures for the first time and I like the effect it creates. My thanks to Justin Minns - www.flickr.com/photos/justinminns/ our tutor for the course for his help, guidance and enthusiasm to impart knowledge.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.
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.
Stairway to knowledge. Of course, we're on the third floor. 8^) Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health.
I had another practice attempt at capturing a bird in flight when this Osprey flew overhead. My main goal here was to try to focus on the eye and get it sharp. There wasn’t much light to work with but I managed to capture just enough to get some colour showing in his eye. Some photographer said you need LUCK when capturing these moments. ( Labouring Under Correct Knowledge). I shall continue to labour on! Happy Wing Wednesday!

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.

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.
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.

«I want knowledge. Not belief. Not surmise. But knowledge. I want God to put out His hand, show His face, speak to me».
~ Antonius Block, The Seventh Seal
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
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.
“Then suddenly comes the awakening to a new level of experience. The soul one day begins to realize, in a manner completely unexpected and surprising, that in this darkness it has found the living God. One’s being is overwhelmed with the sense that He is there and that His love is surrounding and absorbing the soul on all sides. In fact, He has been there all the time—but He was utterly unknown. Now He is recognized. At that instant, there is no other important reality but God, infinite Love. Nothing else matters. The darkness remains as dark as ever and yet, somehow, it seems to have become brighter than noonday. The soul has entered a new world, a world of rich experience that transcends the level of all other knowledge and all other love. From then on one’s whole life is transformed. Although externally sufferings and difficulties and labor may be multiplied, the soul’s interior life has become completely simple. It consists of one thought, one preoccupation, one love: GOD ALONE.”
- Thomas Merton from The Inner Experience

Voi ch'ascoltate in rime sparse il suono
di quei sospiri ond'io nudriva 'l core
in sul mio primo giovenile errore
quand'era in parte altr'uom da quel ch'i' sono,
del vario stile in ch'io piango et ragiono
fra le vane speranze e 'l van dolore,
ove sia chi per prova intenda amore,
spero trovar pietà, nonché perdono.
Ma ben veggio or sí come al popol tutto
favola fui gran tempo, onde sovente
di me mesdesmo meco mi vergogno;
et del mio vaneggiar vergogna è 'l frutto,
e 'l pentersi, e 'l conoscer chiaramente
che quanto piace al mondo è breve sogno
from il canzoniere Francesco Petrarch.

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.

I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.

Irlanda, County Dublin, Dublino, Primavera 2023
Il Trinity College (irlandese: Coláiste na Tríonóide), è l'unico collegio costituente dell'Università di Dublino, un'università di ricerca a Dublino, Irlanda. La regina Elisabetta I fondò il college nel 1592. L'università ha formato molti dei poeti, drammaturghi e autori irlandesi di maggior successo, tra cui Oscar Wilde e Bram Stoker. La Sala Lunga è la camera principale lunga 65 metri della Biblioteca Vecchia, la Sala Lunga, fu costruita tra il 1712 e il 1732 e ospita 200.000 dei libri più antichi della Biblioteca. Inizialmente, la Sala Lunga aveva un soffitto piatto, scaffali per i libri solo al piano inferiore e una galleria aperta. Nel 1850 la stanza dovette essere ampliata man mano che gli scaffali furono riempiti perché alla Biblioteca era stato concesso il permesso di ottenere una copia gratuita di ogni libro che era stato pubblicato in Irlanda e Gran Bretagna. Nel 1860, il tetto della Sala Lunga fu rialzato per ospitare una galleria superiore. La Sala Lunga è fiancheggiata da busti di marmo.
Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide), is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Dublin, Ireland. Queen Elizabeth I founded the college in 1592. The university has educated many of Ireland's most successful poets, playwrights and authors, including Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. The Long Room is the 65-metre-long main chamber of the Old Library, the Long Room, was built between 1712 and 1732 and houses 200,000 of the Library's oldest books. Initially, The Long Room had a flat ceiling, shelving for books only on the lower level, and an open gallery. By the 1850s the room had to be expanded as the shelves were filled due to the fact that the Library had been given permission to obtain a free copy of every book that had been published in Ireland and Britain. In 1860, The Long Room's roof was raised to accommodate an upper gallery. The Long Room is lined with marble busts.
