    1. I could see as I laid the last peach in the water—full of fish and eyes.

      woahhh - this whole thing had great sensory detail, nostalgia, unconventional images, foreboding vibes

    1. When I am tired of only touching, I have my mouth to try to tell you           what, in your arms, is not erased.

      love this - great sensory detail and poetic reference to the whole concept of it

    1. ’s a clear, crisp SUNSET. The camera pans across abeautifully picturesque landscape. Lush summer vegetation infull bloom. Wild green grasses and all kinds of perennialsin front of a line of wild cherry trees at the bluff. Bees,Dragonflies, and insects feast on flowers while birds flyaround. The landscape looks like Serengeti except thatbehind, an orange SUN is setting over the ocean.

      Great contrast

    1. aware of the seawe left behind, and that had left us, the Mediterranean,that other swamp, too far to touch us again,too far to ever matter.

      WOW - love that if it can't touch you it can't hurt you - all about context

    1. My brother and I should still be playing Parcheesi, my father should still be alive, slow dancing with my mother on the sliding-glass balcony of The Gulf Motel. No music, only the waves keeping time, a song only their minds hear ten-thousand nights back to their life in Cuba. My mother’s face should still be resting against his bare chest like the moon resting on the sea, the stars should still be turning around them.

      crazy how there is no emotions here, just very vivid images

    1. "It's hard to remember, crossing time zones, the structure of the hours you left behind. Are they sleeping or are they eating sweets, and are they wanting me to phone them now?"

      interesting to wonder who's speaking here

    1. Elements / atoms

      These don't mean the same thing E - atoms put together A - universe is built of atoms (different kind of atoms that fit into different groups depending on commonalities, those make up different elements)

    2. Energy moves through Earth’s systems(and is not recycled

      open for energy - we use a straight line to show energy coming in a flowing through earth systems before it leaves, energy is not recyclable

    3. Materials move among Earth’s systems(and are recycled)

      earth is closed with materials - we use a circle to show how they move, they are cycles and recycled

    4. Plants vs animals...vs...

      Plants - uses sun as energy source, converts carbon into usable carbon compounds, no movement Animals - uses consumption to create energy, movement

    1. verything is connected, directly or indirectly, to everything else...

      If you change a system in some way expect that same effect to occur something else - you can't change one system without changing others

    2. feedback

      A snowball rolling down a hill will slowly gather more snow as it rolls because as it gathers more snow the surface area touching the snow on the hill increases

    3. Accuracy:

      A - how correct something is/how close it is to the answer P - agreement among replicates - agree with each other is high precision and vice versa S - smallest measurement an instrument can make

    4. ors shape organisms

      temperature, presence of sunlight, moisture availability, types and amounts of food sources, altitude, chemical properties, and the presence and activities of other organisms.

    5. ment
      1. An environment is a space. Simply put, it can be thought of as the location in which an organism lives, or at least temporarily resides.

      2. An environment is made up of those things that affect an organism. In addition to providing the space in which it exists, it influences and shapes an individual. It can be visualized as the set of forces that sustain, apply pressure or stress to and influence to living things.

      3. when someone says “I care about The Environment” they should instead say something like “I care about Earth’s natural environments”.
    6. I. Environmental science...• What is

      The study of Earth’s natural systems and the forces affecting them. Put another way, it is very much a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary endeavor. How human activity influences Earth and its many systems (including the quality of life for people). (It's objective, new, relevant and newsworthy). - Living and non living entities - how they affect earth's systems - interactions among organisms - effects of human activities (natural and humans) - consequences of those actions

    1. imesis presupposes knowledgethat they are imitations, for one will not derive that pleasure from theoriginals, however indiscernible originals and imitations may be.

      Like a reference or an inside joke that we can all find funny

    2. "If something cannot beappreciated," Dickie writes, "it cannot be a work of art."

      But appreciation is such a wide window; anyone can appreciate anything, so does that mean the trees are art? Sandwiches are art? Water is art?

    3. if there are differential aesthetic responses to indiscernible objects when one is an artwork and theother a natural thing-then there would be a threat of circularity inany definition of art in which some reference to aesthetic response wasintended to play a defining role.
      • this is why a lot of people believe you should just put art into the world for the (sometimes shallow) intent of entertainment or simply for the sake of creating, rather than for some big existential reason
