Yellow Bittern

Pelecaniformes - Ardeidae - Botaurus sinensis (Pucung Kuning)

Very small heron of marshy, well-vegetated water bodies. Adult pale orangish brown or yellow, depending on the light, with a narrow dark cap. Juvenile darker above with pale feather edges. Can be inconspicuous in dense vegetation, but frequently makes short flights; on flying birds, note dark flight feathers contrasting with pale yellowish wing coverts. Typically quiet, but occasionally gives harsh grating calls when flushed.

Slow mo but deft

Cinnamon Bittern

Pelicaniformes - Ardeidae - Botaurus cinnamomeus (Pucung Bendang)

Small heron of wet and open grassy areas such as flooded meadows and paddy fields. Uniformly bright rufous upperparts of adult male unmistakable. Female and juvenile have pale streaked belly, dark streaks and spots scattered on the wings and back, and are dark brown with some rufous tones above. Females often have light spotting on the wings, potentially causing confusion with female Schrenck's Bittern, which has brighter and more solid white spots and a prominent dark crown lacking in Cinnamon. Gives dry croaking clicks.

Lurking, shying off, but steady

"Simplicity is indeed often the sign of truth and a criterion of beauty."

stand to what is

surrounds, and around

the imagined, the real

there but not here

here but not there

make no mistake

where I go

there I am

there I am

where I sing

where I seek

I am

 

the same in and out

 

standing forth

minding

mindful, mindless

when bowl runneth over

when the sky let off
when the earth let out

descend in humility

 

My life, my definition

It's not a lost world, I find a cause, I celebrate.

 

Once, ago

 

Can't get enough of me?  Those were the days when we walk together.  Yes, I walk and only fly off when uncomfortable.  It's up to you, you know, when we can walk along again.  I will always be here.  Tread mindfully.

If I may have my say

For what am I distracted, for how do I live, the power of the internal or the burden of the external.  Heaven and earth may be different for you and me, life and death may be different for you and me.  We will show respect one for the other.

No suppression, no compression

No suppression, no compression

Confrontation is liberation. 

 

To catch it

To catch it
To hold it
does it matter
Heart warmer.
