Asian Koel

 Cuculiformes - Cuculidae - Eudynamys scolopaceus (Burung Tuwu)

A large cuckoo, distinctive in all plumages, but usually secretive, keeping to the interior of dense trees in many habitats, even inner cities and fields. Adult males glossy black with dull lime-green bill; females and immatures blackish brown with white dots on the wings and strong streaking on head and throat. Adults have ruby-red eyes. Females lay eggs in the nests of other large birds, including crows, shrikes, and starlings. Song is a loud, persistent “ko-EL!” similar to a peacock’s call.

Waiting is not in vain, when we're back to where we should be.

Tao and one thousand things, play of yin and yang, where violence has no role.

Do you see what I see

Nature offers but takes away too.

I've walked this way

I've walked this way

I've seen much

Yet I will see more

for I choose

not to walk by.

Beauty is not sound

Beauty is not sound
is not colour,
Is what is offered
is what is given.

And I cross

Bird moment:
And I cross
from coolness of shade
into reality of harshness
merely from dimness into light.

And I see
again as I turn back.

"Why do you go away ...."

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Terry Pratchett

"Who would you be ...."

Who would you be but who you are?

--> Terry Brooks, The Black Unicorn

"At the center of your being ...."

At the center of your being

you have the answer;


you know who you are


and you know what you want.

--> Lao Tzu

"Awareness is an inner quality ...."

--> Awareness is an inner quality of consciousness; it has nothing to do with closed or open eyes.

Awareness means you come with an inner light, you move fully alert. Each step is taken in awareness -- the walking, the coming, the sitting -- everything is done in full awareness.

--> Osho
