Strolling under vast skies of blue
one’s self disappeared into everything new
Running through thick fields of green
one saw oneself in everything seen

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.

I love violas – Happy flowers 🙂
Your poem makes me think – everything is connected – if we only look.
Yes, Sci, we love them too! These are from the backyard. Calling them “Happy flowers” is hitting the nail on the head.
Everything is connected (if we only look)… only too many were mis-educated not to.
Yes, unfortunately so.
wonderful post for a spring day, regards Mitza
Thanks, Mitza! The picture helps me feel warmer! The picture was actually taken last spring from Violas in the backyard. Today, it is very cold and snowing here. I have a lot of seeds and bulbs ready for spring planting… but it is too early (here) to plant them. (Being outdoors in the cold exacerbates my arthritis, so you won’t see too many snow scenes from me any longer.)
I love purple and yellow flowers together. Beautiful picture and thoughts.
Thanks, Sonya! Purple and yellow colors do look good together in flowers. Insects also see in ultraviolet; I wonder what they see!
Such cheerful, bright blossoms.
Thanks, Pat! They even cheer me up in this locally cold weather!
beautiful
Thank you! 🙂
