Streaked Wren-Babbler

 Passeriformes - Pellorneidae - Gypsophila brevicaudata (Kekicau Rimba-Berlorek)

Skulky brown bird which scurries around among the leaf litter like a mouse. Dark-edged pale feathers on the back and crown give it a scaly-headed appearance. Gray-faced with rusty tinges in the wings. Subspecies in northern Myanmar and India have orange tinges to the underparts. Like other wren-babblers, typically shy and retiring, foraging in dense vegetation, though occasionally will emerge out into the open. Inhabits mid- to high-altitude forests, in which its high plaintive whistles can often be heard.

Fast and furious but not desperate, and not fake.

Keeping at rest the people




 

Not exalting the worthy causes people not to emulate.

Not prizing the difficult to obtain of treasures causes people not to commit theft.

Not seeing [that which is] able [to elicit] desire, causes the heart not to be disturbed.

Therefore the holy man of the government empties [the people's] hearts, 
fills their stomachs, [the inner, the soul]
he weakens their desire [but] strengthens their bones.

Always he causes people not to know,
not to be desirous.
He causes those knowing ones not to dare to act, indeed.

[When] he does not-doing then there is nothing not governed.

Held only in dream


Held only in dream
Sprouted only with
mind's tears,
Still holding on,
perhaps, birth soon.
