All Tied in Knots

2007.09.23
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.”

Seneca

“Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge”

—Abraham Joshua Heschel

“We learn the rope of life by untying its knots.”

—Jean Toomer

”… in all nature, for instance in trees, I see expression and soul… ”—Vincent Van Gogh

“We might knit that knot with our tongues that we shall never undo with our teeth”

—John Lyly

"When a tree is planted its roots should have room to breathe, its base should be firmed, the soil it is in should be old, and the fence around it should be close. When you have it this way, then you must neither disturb it nor worry about it, but go away and not come back." —from 'Camel Kuo, the Gardener'

“In my end is my beginning.”

—T.S. Eliot

I invent nothing; I rediscover.
–Auguste Rodin

Carley I agree! And I love the juxtaposition of the people-tied knots with the nature-made ones!

jetjackson Wonderful "natural" knots, in the tree trunks/roots. Some of the most intriguing knots I have seen, are on our "Moreton Bay" Fig trees :)
