1/4 Inch Long Wild Violet Flower

.

Violet was a girl

with very few faults

she could sing and dance

and do somersaults

 

Violet was quite pretty

just as a flower

she loved to be in her garden

even during a shower

 

Violet blossomed in time

and loved to sun-bathe outdoors

she liked nature wild,

was never found in stores

 

All girls are Violets

in their own special way

they need never fear death,

while inevitably withering away

    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!...
