Eastern Cattle-Egret

Pelecaniformes - Ardeidae - Ardea ibis/coromanda (Bangau Kerbau)

Small, compact white heron with relatively short yellow bill. More frequently seen in dry habitats than other egrets. In breeding season, look for pale salmon color on head and breast and brighter bill. Leg color varies from reddish or yellow during the breeding season to black during the nonbreeding season. Juveniles have dark bill. Always note relatively short, thick neck and short legs compared with other egrets. Often gathers in flocks, frequently following cattle or tractors in fields.

What can be done

 

By sustaining by disciplining the animal spirit,
by embracing unity one can be without disintegration.

By concentrating the vital force, 

by inducing tenderness,

one can be an infant child.

By washing,

by cleaning,

by profound intuition,

one can be without faults.

In loving the people,

in ruling the country,

one can practise non-action.

The Heaven's gate opening closing 

one can act [like] a mother-bird

Bright, white, the four [quarters],

penetrating one can be not-knowing.

Quickening them,

feeding them,

he produces and not owns.

He acts and not claims.

He raises and not rules.

This is called profound virtue.

Know yourself vs Know others

 

who's alone

you are not alone

there's no aloneness

only disconnectedness

 

change comes

forward and retreat

transition, transformation

there is belief

there is change

 

Love us we are different

We are different

We are different 

We are different

and we love it.

 

Not so different after all

 How do we connect
There is so much in between
Yet we are when we face the same direction.

The self, the appearance

The self, the appearance

The great one, the small one

Only one true one

Dispute

but only with the self

Impression, reflection

 

Impression, reflection

and the truth

Going the distance

To the unfamiliar too

A little depth

For a truth

merely a pause, a step away.

What I stand for, my grip

 

What I stand for, my grip

....

Never alone

Never alone

Always of one space

Sometimes some forget.

In to the light

Into the light
Into the white
Purity has no colour, really.

Separation

Separation
Differences
Recognition
to bind.

Different
and separate
What's beautiful.
