Knowledge

When I took this picture the first thing that I noticed was how intricate it was. All of the branches make a complex pattern across the sky. Some of the branches are so small that I can barely identify them. This reminds me of my first photograph assignment. For that I used a picture of a library and I was so overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge that I will never be able to get to. I get the same feeling when I look at this picture. It is so complicated how the branches are arranged that some of them just blur together. I wish that I could see every branch individually. I wish I knew how it came to be and why it grew the way it did. This picture confirms that I will never know everything, and that scares me. Even though this frightens and worries me, I am coming to the conclusion that life is about the journey not the amount of knowledge that I will have amassed at the end of my life. This is something that I am still coping with. I do believe that there will always be a part of me that will crave knowledge. That will do whatever it takes to understand how these branches work together and how they are connected. It is possible that I need to change my perspective on the situation. I should view these branches as an opportunity, not as something to be feared.
