Superb Starling

 Passeriformes - Sturnidae -Lamprotornis suberpus (Burung Perling)

A chunky, short-tailed, colorful savanna starling. Note the white chest band, white undertail, and white patch on the underwing, conspicuous in flight. Immatures have a dark eye and lack a breast band, but are usually associated with adults. Found in a variety of dry or moderately moist habitats including savanna, woodland, thorn scrub, and villages, usually in small flocks, sometimes with other species of starlings. Similar to Hildebrandt’s and Shelley’s Starlings, but easily separated by the white breast band. The calls include a variety of scolds and squeals.

"What can I do to always remember who I really am?"

Of holiness the virtue

 

Reason, in its eternal aspect, is unnameable.

Simplicity though insignificant, 

the world not dares to subject [it].

Princes [and] kings if they can keep it,

The ten thousand things are going of themselves to pay homage.

Heaven [and] earth mutually combined,

thereby drop sweet dew.

The people will have none as their commanders,

but of themselves they will be righteous.

[When] at first creating order [it becomes] the nameable.

[When] the nameable also already exists

then in turn one is going to know where to stop.

is the reason why there is no danger.

To illustrate:

Reason's being in the universe 

resembles rivers [and] streams [in their relation] to great rivers [and the oceans,

indeed.

Sustain contracts

 

"Sustain contracts"

The Way leans on the positive instead of the negative in any dealings.

Eyes

When your eyes are tired 

the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone 

no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark 

where the night has eyes

to recognize its own.

There you can be sure 

you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb 

tonight.

The night will give you 

a horizon further than you can see.

You must learn one thing.

The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds 

except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet 

confinement of your aloneness

to learn 

anything or anyone 

that does not bring you alive 

is too small for you.

 

Name

"O peace! how many wars were waged in thy name!"

 

"Emptiness"

"nonexistence ('s) ... utility"

 

we want colours

i am colours

i am joy, i am delight

on the slides of happiness

 

What's left

What's left

is one, only,

Not wise

to want it all.

Building creating

Building, creating
Total presence
Happiness.

No breakaway

No breakaway
Dullness
Beauty swathed.

Artless, unworldly

Artless, unworldly
Beauty in the least
Can't hide purity.

Who seeks, who knocks

Who seeks, who knocks
What's found
Precious only as felt.

What little there is

What little there is

there is more,

Plenty in what's

most in little.
