My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Tom's Nature-up-close Photography and Mindfulness Blog 
yes thomas, it is a relief to realise i am not the thinker … i am much more than that poor thing!
Yes, so cool that you sagaciously realize that! That “poor thing” initially evolved — as simple conditioned responses — as a means of helping with survival. Later “evolutionarily” speaking — as a set of more complicated conditioned responses — it took itself to be the essence of the organism; (it even maintained that “part of it was freely ‘in charge’ of other parts of itself”… which, of course, is impossible).
well described thomas …. life is so much fuller than the mind, so enormously wonderfully vast!
Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your site on my iphone during lunch break. I love the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .
