A Mind’s Eye View

By Marie Thompson

A Mind’s Eye View shares a mixed bag of life experiences that has brought joy and an appreciation of the marvels of the natural world to author Marie Thompson. She has an eye for detail that takes the mundane to a level of unexpected enlightenment; her encounters with nature and people reflect her wonder when she looks upon a spider, a homeless man, or considers her own DNA. In this book, Marie’s essays, poetry, and short stories express sensitivity to aspects of life that bring insight and humor.
