The magical multiplicity of nature
needs integrity and care
not ramshackle mumbo jumbo
from insipid intellectualism sitting in choice underwear
A gustatory dive (without papaya or mangoes)
of simple mushrooms and assimilated provisions
can be polished off near a larder and fridge
without cold emptiness’s voracious decisions
Mushrooming love
There’s plenty of room for more
not emaciated hate and indifference
Pass on a plate to feed the poor

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.

Such beauties!
Thank you, Roda! 🙂 Get those bee homes ready! 🙂
I am working hard!

Much appreciated regarding both, Leyla! 🙂
Mushrooms are love.
Yes, V… and so interesting how they communicate with trees (and share nutrients with them)! 🙂
love it. 🙂
Thank you much, Gorman! Great that you are focusing on the positive! 🙂
Nice poem – I particularly like the last verse. 🙂
Thanks much, Scifi! Same here re that last verse. 🙂

Nothing gives me a morning smile like this sort of phrase: “insipid intellectualism sitting in choice underwear.” I’m stilll smiling, as a matter of fact.
Great that it got you smiling! Sometimes reality is laughable! 🙂
I totally agree with sciffihammy, Thomas. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
Good! Hoping your weekend is mushroomingly magical, Mitza! 🙂
I can read a lot into your words… but especially love and agree with your last verse. Love those mushrooms! 🍄
Good to read! 🙂 Stay mushroomingly sensitive!
Unfortunately, mushrooms don’t agree with me and I know I am missing out, darn it.
It’s just a metaphor! 🙂 What to digest is not mushrooms but has more to do with compassion.
Beautiful! Words, thoughts and photographs!
Many thanks, Dawn! 🙂 Stay compassionate and caring!
With you, Tom. Crazy stuff we’re living through – again.
🙂 Yes, unfortunately, it’s way beyond crazy! There’s a lot of uncaring, prejudiced people (especially in the so-called United States).
Great capture Tom, so beautiful!, the mushrooms look like small houses! 🙂
Cool poem and awesome shots!
