Communion with Nature - Ten Ways
Dr Abe V Rotor
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." —Albert Einstein
Parakeets, Safari World, Bangkok, Thailand
Lovely, friendly - kindest words ever be,whereas their kin are wild and free;lucky in man's judgment these pair may beif only we understand their pleafor freedom to the wild, to their ancestryand away from the artificial tree.

Behold! a jellyfish as looking glassunfolds a third world scene:half terrestrial, half aquatic,solid and liquid in between,third matter in colloidal form -strange the world is ever seen.
Baby orangutan, Avilon Zoo, San Mateo, Rizal
Monkey on my back, that's what people say
when what we say logic we lack;
genes may vary, yet the same to this day,
indeed, a monkey on our back.
Baby sitting: Fluppy, angora rabbit at home
Here is seeing the world in dreams;half awake, half asleep,on two planes - fantasy and reality,rather than counting sheep,to unload life's burden at the end of day -a heaven sent li'l rabbit.
Tamboili shells, former St. Paul Museum
I'm standing on the world's narrowest isthmus,among archives and fossils of history,where I can hold the Pacific and the Atlanticoceans half the world apart and free;
I cross the time and distance barrierwith these chroniclers singing to methe unending roars of the tides -tides on the street, tides of the sea.
Grand Dad and Markus the only two in the world,theirs the time, space and stillness;let the world go round unceasingly to others,save this ephemeral togetherness.
Dragons in fairy tales and religious fictions -they are fierce, they're enemies of mankind;in fossils and movies they scare the children;little do we think of them friendly and kind,devouring pests, singing lullaby in dull air;misjudged, they're harder and harder to find.
Yes, creatures but man, are getting fewer, farther apart;changing the old game with art of glass and steel;where you can't get near, when you can't touch and feel,technology comes to fill, yet empty still.

Overlooking nature's majestic caldera*
this twin in a rare experience;
half-sky, half-water, half-land kingdom
a fairytale of the eighth sense.
* A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land, following a volcanic eruption. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. Tagaytay was formed by this geologic phenomenon.

Splendor on the grass at twilight
laughing with the stars;
who cares about rain and wind,
time like this is scarce. ~
"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."
