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.

Ha ha – the squirrels in the Park were excited for black walnuts about a month or so ago. Little bits of green rind were everywhere after they peeled it away from the nut with their teeth, then clutched it in their mouth trying to decide whether to eat it or bury it. 🙂

Very nice Tom – a poem and photo as we finally change the seasons.
Thank you, Linda! 😊 There are tons of acorns in my backyard now. A big, frisky squirrel is acting like he is in heaven.

I love the ideas jumbled in this poem. The first line was a definite catcher for me 😊
Lovely!
Nice 🙂
Oh this is some kind of feel good…”living is dying my friend.” Love the meaning in that and it’s more truth in that than we realize. Thanks Tom! 😎💖🥰
