In terms of truth
everyone thought the world was flat
except (of course) the
wise man
who saw the world was round
In terms of space
everyone thought from separation
except (of course) the
wise man
who perceived that he was sound
In terms of experience
everyone thought they had (and were not actually) the experiences
except (of course) the
wise man
who joyfully went beyond mere experience

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.

Beautiful beetle! Strangely I seem to have stumbled across a few articles about flat-earthers lately. Weird stuff.
Thanks much, btb! The Midwest is full of flat-earthers! 🙂
very good poem and beautiful photo, Thomas
Thanks so much, Mitza! These beetles are rare in our area… but a real treat when one is seen! 🙂
Wisdom in this poem, Tom. Great macro photo.
