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 sorry to hear this Tom, but happy you are showing improvement. Hope your full recovery is quick and you will be home soon. Love, Barb and Joe
Thank you, Barb and Joe. You would not believe the amount of severe pain that I have been in over the last two weeks 😞
And I have not slept much at all for the two weeks 😞
But I am hanging in there 👍
Much appreciated, M.T. 👍😉
Feel better soon Tom – when you didn’t post a second week in a row, I hoped it was not another heart attack – is this the lesser of two evils? Heal up!
It is better than the mild heart attack that I had, in a way, but far more complex and painful 😖
Thanks, Linda 😉👍
That’s good – I started to reach out and would have had you not posted this Tuesday. Take care Tom and I hope you are home soon.
Pancreatitis is painful.
Good to hear you’re improving Tom. Be a good patient and take your meds! 😉
