When wily mediocrity mingled
impressing dozens of cadaverous friends
When superficiality stagnated
content with parts and very dead ends
Where innocence’s insight fully flowered
near caring doubt’s entwining now
With timelessness everlastingly
not separate from the whole of life somehow

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.

So glad you are appreciative of it, vikram! 🙂
Such a lovely flower – the beetle looks like he’s lying back and having a nap! 🙂
Thank you much, Scifi! 🙂 Please give Little Monkey a super big hug from us!… and give please give him a big wooden dog bone on our behalf. 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Will do – and LM has plenty of log bones to chew on 😀
Tom, I hit “like” three times now, and it doesn’t show here at all, did you get it?
Yes, it shows! Thank you very much, Michael! 🙂 Stay perceptive and caring!
Wonderful poem and photo!
Many thanks, Belinda! 🙂 Stay close to nature and keep those great photos coming! 🙂
beautiful poem and photo, Thomas, regards Mitza
Much appreciated, Mitza! 🙂 It’s 0 degrees Celsius here today… so we are having a real heat wave for a change! 🙂
Hehe, we have minus 9 🙂
Great verse and images, Tom!
Thank you, Sandy! 🙂 I don’t always totally like my own poems that (in a way) “label” certain people… but sometimes it’s needed to get a point across quickly and acutely.
True enough.
Wonderful photo and poem!
Thank you much, C.I.! 🙂 Stay curious and perceptive (and never lose that curiosity)! 🙂

I don’t know this flower, I have not photographed it, so beautiful and delicate Tom! 🙂
Thank you, Marcela! 🙂 One is not sure, but it may be Chives.
