This article is a collaborative bricolage of poetry, autobiographical fragments, essay pieces, and images assembled together as a portrait of the authors' ongoing existential, psychological and epistemological struggles as educators and learners, parents and children. The article captures a reflective exploration and collective sharing of their own life experiments, seeking to create ripples of provocation as well as resonation in the reader. Identifying biophilia (love of life/nature) as a key learning in environmental education, this work looks into the complex and complicated relationship between biophilia and bibliophilia (love of books). The article ends by identifying indwelling experience as key to biophilia, and suggests and advocates poetry-making and story-telling as methods for fostering indwelling.

In his paper the author deals with the deities depicted on Trajan's and Marcus Aurelius' Column with a special regard to the cult of Danuvius/Danube and the winged and bearded god of the rain miracle. The cult of Danuvius is rarely attested epigraphically (and not before the 2 nd century AD) and it must be connected to Trajan's campaign against the Dacians. The rain god is iconographically unique but a figure of a river god among the Dionysiac relief panels of the theatre in Perge dated to Marcus Aurelius' reign can be its first parallel.
