4. This is the summit of contemplation
and no art can touch it
blue, so blue, the far out archipelago
and the sea shimmering, shimmering
no art can touch it, the mind can only
try to become attuned to it
to become quiet, and space itself out, to
become open and still, unworlded
knowing itself in the diamond country, in
the ultimate unlettered light.
Kenneth White
A High Blue Day in Scalpay

9. “Now more than ever we need education that
focuses on history, on politics, on philosophy,
on economics, on human geography. We need
to understand how we got into this mess and
the consequences of our actions if we fuck it
all up again.”

11. “Open education can expand access to
education, widen participation, create new
opportunities for the next generation of
teachers and learners and prepare them to
become fully engaged digital citizens. In
addition, open education can promote
knowledge transfer while at the same time
enhancing quality and sustainability, supporting
social inclusion, and creating a culture of inter-
institutional collaboration and sharing.”
