Day 96 Gates Ajar

"Winter Im Park." by Leopold Blauensteiner

“Geology, mineralogy, physical geography, botany, natural history, biology, astronomy––the whole circle of the sciences is, as it were, set with gates ajar in order that a child may go forth furnished, not with scientific knowledge, but with, what Huxley calls, common information, so that he may feel for objects on the earth and in the heavens the sort of proprietary interest which the son (or daughter) of an old house has in its heirlooms.”
 
 
 
Examen:  My role is to open the gate, but also to enter each field.  Where can I ensure the gates are ajar today? What is my most recently realized “proprietary interest?”
