Colere Terra Mare Caelum - 400

Out of a box you say, or was it out of "The" box?  The first question would pertain to how i appear somedays after work, as in "Where did you climb out of?", while the second question is typical rhetoric for think tanks, generating of new concepts and ideas, solving problems that need new solutions.  What i have found in some of my most recent research is that most of the new ideas that are considered innovative and "out of the box" thinking, have all been used before.  Nothing new under the sun as Solomon wrote, but there are lessons to learn from the past and new applications of this knowledge into contemporary life.  The gap in generational knowledge tends to create an atmosphere of amnesia between the new and old generations.

Case in point is my recent searching for some guidelines and references for writing grants for our Prison Ministry group.  Much of the work and efforts have paralleled my work interests as they have developed over the years and i found an overall phrase that depicts the direction.  It is called permaculture and involves multiple interests to creation of a balanced coherent whole involving architecture, landscape, environment and planning.  This is nothing new and dates back to indigenous tribes being good stewards of the land.  Native American Indians were advanced in how they managed their natural resources to create a relationship with and through the natural world, a relationship of balance and respect not of control and dominance. 

i looked up a few latin phrases for the elements and culture.  The simple phrase that came forth translated is "To Cultivate, Earth, Sea, and Sky (or Heaven).  Some references came out of this that i've included below - one of scripture and the other of the sculptor's chisel. 

God Bless,

Revelation 14:14-20
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath
17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

Latin caelum means both 'the heavens' (from the same root as 'celestial'), and 'sculptor's chisel', or burin; an engraving tool for metals. It is this instrument that La Caille had in mind when he named this constellation.

History
from Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, 1889, Richard H. Allen


Caelum or Scalptorium, the Burin or Graving Tool, sometimes incorrectly written Cela sculptoria, is the French Burin, the Italian Bulino, and the German Grabstichel.

It was formed by La Caille from stars between Columba and Eridanus, directly south of the Sceptrum Brandenburgicum; Gould now assigns to it twenty-eight components, of magnitudes from four to seven.

Burritt, in the early editions of his book, arbitrarily changed the name to Praxiteles, perhaps thinking thereby to avoid possible confusion with the constellation Sculptor.

Caelum comes to the meridian with the star Aldebaran on the 10th of January, and is entirely visible from the 40th parallel.
