At least, I think it's called the Flame of Knowledge... Anyway, this sculpture stands outside of the main entrance of the Robin Campus of Roosevelt University in Schaumberg, where I teach in the mornings. It was sunnier later, but it looked nicer here.

The Green Hub Programme in Kosovo addresses the challenges of unsustainable tourism practices through training and support. Many tourism businesses lack sustainable strategies, facing barriers like financing and knowledge gaps. The program trained both tourism enterprises and young entrepreneurs. Eco Solution, a women-led startup, tackles food waste by converting it into organic fertilizer, promoting soil fertility and biodiversity. Yoga & Hiking Retreats, founded by a mountaineer and yoga teacher, utilizes Kosovo's natural beauty for meditative tourism experiences. Green Adventures offers eco-friendly outdoor event planning, catering, and clean-up. Weekend Home streamlines finding local guesthouses, boosting local tourism. Materials Co. focuses on eco-friendly furnishings. The Green Hub Programme aims to accelerate Kosovo's eco-friendly transition and community well-being in the tourism sector.

From my heel to my toe is a measured space of 29.7 centimetres or 11.7 inches. This is a unit of progress and it is also a unit of thought. 'I can only meditate when I am walking,' wrote Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the fourth book of his 'Confessions', 'when I stop I cease to think; my mind only works with my legs.' Søren Kierkegaard speculated that the mind might function optimally at the pedestrian pace of three miles per hour, and in a journal entry describes going out for a wander and finding himself 'so overwhelmed with ideas' that he 'could scarcely walk'. Christopher Morley wrote of Wordsworth as 'employ[ing] his legs as an instrument of philosophy' and Wordsworth of his own 'feeling intellect'. Nietzsche was typically absolute on the subject - 'Only those thoughts which come from 'walking' have a value' - and Wallace Stevens typically tentative: 'Perhaps / The truth depends on a walk around the lake.' In all of these accounts, walking is not the action by which one arrives at knowledge; it is itself the means of knowing.

This is the tree of knowledge at the Ballarat University. It is a splendid sight to behold, this enormous tree in the midst of concrete buildings. I heard from someone there that when in need of extra energy, the tree is the perfect place to rejuvinate yourself. Nature is always a good place to be to be refreshed.
Note-Grids are a tool for collecting and connecting objects of thought (in this case, words).
They treat words and other manifestations of thought as objects that can be freely manipulated to create new meaning.
They break meaning up into individual words to facilitate a more fluid, intuitive, and improvisational approach to knowledge production.
