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.

And in addition to the text, something very interesting about the lower photo image, fractals, not that I know anything about it. Just fascinated…
Yes, T, fractals are pretty neat. 🙂 In a way, they somewhat exemplify what scientists are talking about when they say — as they are now, these days — that we live in a holographic universe. I’ve been into holography for many decades.
Always enjoy your posts, Thomas, because they have a certain high quality. So I could say, quality is not what you have, quality is what you are, Thomas. Have a nice day, greets to Tweetie, Mitza
Thanks so much, Mitza! 🙂 Actually, i have way too much osteoarthritis, these days, to be what high quality is! However, i am doing well enough, considering. Keep snapping and painting! 🙂
I really do hope that you don’t have too much pain, Thomas. Have a good weekend, regards Mitza
Talented is what you are. 🙂
Nicely said and lovely photos. 🙂
Thank you, Sci! They were growing in our yard. I love not having to travel (best) for taking photos; that way no fossil fuels are involved and things stay a little bit cleaner. 🙂
haha Lovely. I totally agree. 🙂
“Wisdom is what you are.”
Indeed, the soul is Wisdom because it’s a part of the Creator, we are a drop f the ocean of all Consciousness.
Gorgeous pink in the top photo. 🙂
Thanks, Genie! 🙂 Personally, i feel that true creativity is beyond what we exist as in this multiverse. The mind can be in communion with true creativity, but not if it is merely a separate brain filled with images and patterns learned from others. In the drop is the ocean.
“In the drop is the ocean.”
That reminds me of a poem that I wrote a few years ago:
Raindrops rush to rose petals
To see their beloved ocean
Singing on its fragrant flower
Shore
poetically informative
of what it is
i might be 🙂
Good… but don’t identify any supposed personal self permanently with any attributes.
thank you 🙂
Love the Thru the Looking Glass version! Colors are delightful!
Great writing of simple yet great truths..
Beautiful photography..
