[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.

In most medical, biology and bioengineering programs (undergrad and graduate) you are required to take a bioethics class, which covers stuff including how science affects society and a sampling of the biomedical field’s various atrocities. The idea is to keep you from going on to do harm, because even when you have good intentions ignorance or carelessness are still dangerous.

I think it’s past time computer science had something similar.

#a fucking ethics course in psychology and social work would be fucking incredible #especially social work lmfao

Pentagram of hearts, Templar hermitage of Saint Bartholomew. Rio Lobos Canyon, Soria, Spain.

The pentagram is formed by the inter-crossing of five big hearts that create five small ones as well as the five pointed star and a pentagon, all of them full of mystical significance and a central element of the Pythagorean doctrine associated with the golden number. The sun coming through this window oriented to the south lights a mystic carving on the temple floor during the solstices.

The 12th-Century hermitage of Saint Bartholomew is full of Templar symbolism, a chapel built in an area that has drawn spiritual seekers since the Bronze Age….

Situated equidistantly from the Iberian Peninsula’s easternmost and westernmost points, the site was carefully chosen by the Knights Templar for its spiritual properties. In a nearby limestone cave, Ancient Romans celebrated Mundus Patet (the “festival of the dead”) and prayed to the Cult of the Mother Goddess in the cave behind the trees to the right of the temple. According to the legend, this is where Bartholomew the Apostle dropped his sword from atop a nearby mountain, declaring wherever the weapon fell to be his home in the 1st Century AD.

The architectural elements of the Knights’ hermitage reflect this rich past. Carved motifs pay homage to Roman deities such as the god Janus, guardian of the gates and transitions. At the heart of the chapel, beneath a statue of the Virgin Mary, a carved Flower of Life symbol is perfectly illuminated on the winter solstice through a peculiar rosette-shaped window.

Constructed in a fusion of Romanesque and early Gothic, San Bartolomé lies 4km from the Castle of Ucero. This citadel was built on a fortress in the same period as the hermitage, leading experts to think the surrounding area was likely a hotbed of Templar activity. Remarkably, some historians even believe that the chapel’s interior columns may hint to the assumed location of the fabled Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia.

The Rio Lobos Canyon (Wolves River) Natural Park is a wonderful natural micro-system, full of wildlife and vegetation. Its limestone walls, eroded by wind, water and time, offer spectacular shapes and views. The river that runs through it is teeming with fish, frogs, dragonflies, crabs, snakes… and the skies are watched by vultures , eagles and other raptors. It is a pleasure to walk along the riverside paths and just listen…
