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, pescetarianism, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...
no boundaries in consciousness …
Yes, no boundaries in consciousness; we think that things are so separate — life and death, past and future, old and young, fish and humans — but they are not. We look fragmentarily, through the filters of separation that we were taught, and what we see is limited, jaded, partial, and distorted. And from that limitation, “partiality,” and distortion… we react.
whereas if we take the wider view we have more possibility of responding to life as it flows …
Yes, the wider view affords us with more possibilities with regard to the flow. These possibilities would go beyond responding as we were taught and beyond merely reacting… into a realm not of reaction, but of action… action not based on the edicts of others, not based on the past, not calculated. True wisdom and profound being isn’t calculated… it spontaneously (in the flow) is.
