it was hiding in plain sight
the unconditionedwhole
but she never really saw it
like she did the littlegreen bowl
it was always to be seen
beyond cadaverous illusion or disjointed dream
but separative frag ments can not be it
like a drop ped b owl that was gre en
it’s popular to show off your wares
to all you know, to many friends of natty seg ments
but real joy is not to splinters shown
nor can be vis u ally ad mired by bro ken frag ments

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.

Great poem.. ánd that second image!!! Sublime work 🙂 (although i realize i should not separate the image from the poem from the blog from the whole :P)

I can only agree with Pieter Navis, Thomas. Wonderful poem and photo. Hope you are fine. I’ve been in Greece for a month and now try to process 1000 photos! Regards Mitza
Thank you, Mitza! 1000l photos! That’s a lot! 🙂
Yes, I just realized how much work it is. But I like this job. 🙂
Loved how you wrote your poem 🙂
Thanks, Sci! Sometimes, it’s as if they write themselves… (which is really the best way)! 🙂
