know

explorers of what can be known

is what we are

know-nauts.

we weave silver threads

from what we know towards that which we wish to know

we carve light through the dark unknown

and know things different,

according to whither we weave.

matter-ward, we build physics.

neighbor-ward, we explore the social.

know-ward, philosophy.

inward, to know the psyche.

starward, to know astronomy.

process-ward, to build systems.

tool-ward, to know engineering.

past-ward, to know history.

food-ward, to know agronomy.

skyward, to know meteorology.

flow-ward, to know fluid dynamics.

and so on.

explorers of the knowable,

spiders weaving our silver webs.

wanting to get a better view.

wanting to fill in the blanks and unknowns.

wanting to know.

to see what is us

and to know it.
