Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. The human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray.

 

-- Sensational Color

_______________________

 

Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.

 

-- Gerhard Richter

"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.

"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

My last pencil drawing

 

Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.

SNFCC/National Library of Greece, Athens.

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

― Albert Einstein

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

Discover an unquenchable thirst for KNOWLEDGE.

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.

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

NYC - From Inside

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

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.

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.

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....

Perceptual knowledge

Merely an inquiry

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.

- Story of the Day - By Brian Andreas

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.

knowledge is all around us .. it is our job to make the best out of it whenever possible
