A consociation of color.

Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude ("He who has begun is half done: dare to know!").

Quoting Kant makes me feel like my glass is half full. Parroting Horace adds a few drops more...
The connection is, as you might naturally inquire when I say I am devoted to philosophy, to what school I belong, I forestall the inquiry by saying "to none."
Now that I know that "not knowing" is my natural state, I don't worry about my lack of alignment with an ideology. I just like to watch nature's denizens go about their business of being themselves. When it rains my cup runneth over. When it pours, I go indoors!

Taken individually, each flower is a miracle. Taken as a garden -- as in our Eden -- there is Life in excess of what is knowable.
