Watch the sunrise with me. The sun is lowering it's arc across the sky. Rising lower to skim the sky just a little closer to the horizon every day. But it is not the sun that is moving. It is us. It is the Earth.
"I am reminded of how little I know" this is how I feel SO often when I realise all the grand magical things happening around us that we really can't comprehend!
I love that your dad was involved in your education and taught things in a way kids would understand. Like you, I love learning new things. My dad said we should learn one new things a day! Your sunrise video is amazing. We get some great ones here too, usually while i am out walking the dogs at this time of the year. Love it.
This is so special: how first the pond materializes then the fields, then the pale orange of the sky, all along, the faint cries of the roosters growing in power. Quite spectacular.
Even moreso, your father's teaching you about the world. I had none of that. None. Our science books remained shut our entire grammar school days and into high school. You cannot imagine my ignorance: I was perhaps 50 years old before I learned the moon has no light of its own. Sad.
I revel in continual learning especially about the universe.
I can imagine on a farm the night sky is so brilliant, and the seasons so integral, one cannot but wonder about how it all works. Lucky you to have such!
"When I study this stuff (and yes stuff is a scientific term - cue laughter) I am reminded of how little I know. Maybe even how little I am. "
The more we know, the more we know what we don't know. It makes us humble. As Charles Darwin observed: "Ignorance breeds confidence more than knowledge".
Thanks for this lovely meditation on all that Celia! 👏
The "axial tilt dance move" might just become my new favourite mental image—science and rhythm all rolled into one.
You’re absolutely right: no matter how much we understand (or how little) we all get to experience these cosmic marvels every single day. Thank you for sharing this radiant perspective Cecilia......

Good morning Heather Anne and yes! There is so much science that feels like magic!

Being out walking in the sunrise is a gift.
That was such a nice way to end the day. Thank you. It made me feel good.
Peace to you and your family of followers.
Thank you Jim. Your comments are always welcome. You are a natural teacher.

It was probably when you had to let go of that lovely idea. The moon and her light. Why were you unable to study science?
I love this. Love your videos. Love that rooster! 😂
Bloody roosters.
