Happiness is
a stringed balloon
tied to a kite
that flies so noon
Sadness is
a melancholy frown
that never looks up
and always looks down
Wisdom is
a tiny winged creature
that sprung from a worm
without the sermon’s preacher

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.

Tom's Nature-up-close Photography and Mindfulness Blog 
Well written 😊
Thank you, Thoughts! 🙂
Love the poem and photo, Tom.
Thanks Karen, glad you did! 🙂
Wonderful words and photos!
Thank you, Belinda! Keep snappin’! 🙂
that’s wonderful, Thomas
Thank you, Mitza! 🙂 Tweetie says, “Hi!” Yesterday she decided to demolish another toy!
Thanks for Tweetie’s greetings. I’m sure she was angry because of the election and therefore destroyed the toy. I would do the same, hehe
All of nature should be angry! The new incoming administration is taking all references to global warming off of their official U.S. web sites. Twilight Zone stuff for our small planet! 😦
Lovely upbeat poem and photo 🙂
Thanks much, Scifi! 🙂 We continue to get unending rain here; wish we could send you some!
Ah that would be amazing. 🙂
A wonderful poem and pictures Tom 🙂
Thank you, Jude! (Take a sad song and make it better!) 🙂
Thought-provoking poem, Tom. Thanks.
Thank you, Jean! 🙂 A lot of protesting going on at this side of the pond!
… and a lot of protesting about it here too.
It is very interesting how many of us yet choose to suffer from those unhealthy emotions that are at times so “sweet” yet leading to destruction. We call them different names. They can hide under very many different masks. They can look like love and compassion, they can look like sorrow… Self-pity…It is as if we choose to be miserable. I love the topic you chose. Nice blog. Great pics. Encouraging.
