Build a shape of love to him
and truth will come stay with you
Build a way to follow him
and wind will surely find you
Find in cycle
Wind in air
Cast in our lures
Stand with truth
Love adventure
Follow air
And our lives are to feel
the love

A lovely poem, Tom. Good to see you back. Hope you’re feeling better.
Thank you, SB. I am feeling much better. Recently at the cardiologist, he told me (after an EKG) that no heart damage was detected. I have more (extensive) testing on Friday.
I am not quite ready to get back into blogging yet. This post was inadvertently posted… as it was one that i had put on the backburner — by having (in the past) scheduled it way into the future — and, i see, the future is now. (Incidentally, the future really is now, by the way.)
I will get back into blogging, but not for a while yet. When i do, it will not be with the intensity (i.e., frequency) of before; i am concerned that people are not deeply serious enough… and sitting at the computer is “not for me these busy, interesting days.” Too many continue to fly in jets or travel on distant “picturesque” vacations (getting so-called good photos) while neglecting the environment and the pollution involved. Then they think they are meditating! It’s ludicrous really. But i’ll get back… because not all of the apples in the bunch are rotten.
I hope that you are doing well, SB, and thanks for the comment! 🙂
So glad to hear you are doing okay. I can understand why you want to ease back into things. When I posted a photo of a lichen in my yard this week on my blog, I thought of you–a fellow lichen lover!
🙂 That’s awesome! 🙂
What an absolute thrill to find this post. You’ve been missed. I’ve thought of you so often; I hope all is well with you and your family, and that the wind you wrote about has found you!
Thanks much, Linda! Read what i wrote to SoyBend and keep perceptive. 🙂
That seems reasonable — that is, your new approach to blogging. I’m so glad your health reports are good. Enjoy the world!
I’ll find out more tomorrow (Friday). Thanks much, Linda! 🙂
Welcome back. I’ve missed you.
Thanks, Sue! Read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
Welcome back!
Well, not quite yet! Read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
Hello, Tom! How lovely to read your post and know that you are writing again!
Not quite yet, Harini. Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
I see it now. I realy hope the doctor will declare you fit, Tom, and you are able to do anything you want. As for blogging, don’t be disheartened by the lack of responsive action. Even if one person gets what you’re saying and practices caring for the environment, that’s you plus one. Who knows, some day the penny may drop with a clang and humankind may perceive.
Yes, Harini, the quantity of people who understand is not so important… unless we are talking about the environment.
Good to read you.
Thanks much, Steffen! Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂

This lit up my inbox!

Welcome back, Tom. Nice to see your post today. A beautiful …wasp?
Thank you, Eilene. Grap the bug and you’ll find out! 🙂 Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
What’s the buzz (besides your bug) … well Tom is back!
Well, not quite yet, Linda. (Keep those squirrels happy!) Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
OK, I understand. Take it slow and easy Tom – nothing much is happening out there as we are still immersed in Winter, then all the torrential rain they are predicting for late March/early April will arrive. This was a boo-boo post escaping prematurely. 🙂 Take care of yourself Tom. P.S. – I am spoiling those squirrels at the park and the house. This morning I shoveled their area where I feed them first to lay down peanuts and some sunflower seeds, and then I could finish shoveling. I turned around and a pair of gray squirrels were sitting there begging, as if to say “did you forget our peanuts? Hurry we’re hungry! “
Oh, that is so cute! A little bit north of you and squirrels hibernate for the winter; it’s too cold to forage. We have acorns in our yard that keeps them happy.
When Tweetie sees me with a bowl of food, she either says “What do you got?” or “What do you have?” She varies with the usage of those two (which is indicative of realizing that different words mean the same thing). And some people still think that they just robotically mimic! 🙂
Welcome back, Tom.
Ah, not yet… not yet… Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
So happy you’re back, Tom! I’ve missed your beautiful images!!
Though i never ever really left, i’m not quite back, Susi. Please read what i wrote to SoyBend and stay perceptive. 🙂
Whoa, you’ve joined an exclusive club! Welcome! I ended up with 3 stents when I joined. 🙂 I wish you continuing better health and that whatever changes this situation has brought, the prognosis is good. ❤
Thanks much, Susi! I’ll find out more tomorrow (Friday). After my angioplasty, the cardiologist told me that i had minimal damage, so that is good. I hope that you are doing well! I hope that you are on a statin; even though they are not perfect, they do help a lot. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1973, eating organic food and exercising daily. Genetics!!
