the world is but a flower
unfurling for an hour
and that hour is beautifully and infinitely long
as is the innocence of a little butterfly who can do no wrong

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.

Lovely photos 🙂 Looks so ethereal in the lilac.
I like that the “hour is beautifully and infinitely long”. After all, few animals measure time as we do, and an hour may be their entire lifetime.
Thanks, Sci! 🙂 That’s one interpretation.
Excellence and perfection for both words and images…
Thanks so much, Beth! Coming from you, that’s quite an honor! 🙂
Now, I’m speechless! Your work is so perfect, mine cannot come anywhere near, and that’s my humble opinion…🌹🌹🌹
Ah… thanks, but that is baloney! 🙂
Uh-uh. That cute little butterfly looks just like the cabbage moths that have stopped me growing kale! Do no wrong? From their perspective, sure.
LOL! Sorry, Jane, but I can’t help but laugh at your comment. (Well, it’s the caterpillars, not the butterflies, to blame… which is stretching it, I know!)
Oh, ha, that’s certainly a stretch! It’s these cute little butterflies that lay the eggs. If I didn’t want to stay organic, I’d like them better. But then they’d be dead.
There are a lot of organic, homemade sprays that you could try. Like maybe cayenne or whatever. You’d have to reapply after rain, of course…
wonderful photos and words, Thomas
Thanks very much, Mitza! I always enjoy your photos and pieces too! 🙂
I feel happy after looking at images and reading the words.
I’m glad! 🙂
Innocence. A big word held by a small creature. Nice.
