Chestnut-breasted Malkoha

 Cuculiformes - Cuculidae - Phaenicophaeus curvirostris (Cenuk Dada Perang/Cenuk Ekor Coklat)


Combination of a bright red face, staring pale eyes, and chunky bicolored bill lends this lowland and foothill forest species a clownlike countenance. Dark glossy greenish above and rich chestnut-brown below, this oversized cuckoo clumps about amongst foliage, looking rather squirrel-like in its movements. Sometimes joins mixed flocks. Gives a range of strange calls, including hollow knocks and hoarse crowing and mewing notes.
(eBird)



Imagined fear could cause indisposition.

Grand virtue

 



Great perfection seems imperfect.
Its function not is worn out.
Great fulness seems empty.
Its function is not exercised.

Great straightness seems crooked.
Great skill seems clumsy.
Great eloquence seems stammering.

Motion conquers cold.
Quietude conquers heat.
Purity clearness are the world's standard.

In sync, perhaps




Watch and learn, if you're willing
but the same outlook means not the same heartbeats.

Where is home





Seeker
be not restless traveller
Home is where
the heart lulls to
its murmurs.

When it is you



It was commonness, and commonness brings comfort.  Why do you lament that which is familiar and ordinary?  Are you tired of your own tediousness?  Do not blame it beyond yourself.
