Grey Wagtail

 Passeriformes - Motacillidae - Motacilla cinerea (Kedidi-Air Kelabu)

Handsome long-tailed bird. Breeding male has a black throat, mostly yellow underparts. Breeding female often has some dark on the throat, paler yellow underparts. All plumages have gray head and back, with whitish eyebrow, bright yellow belly and vent. Often near flowing water with nearby rocks or surrogate rocky habitat, from mountain streams to weirs in suburban parklands. Walks quietly along shorelines or in nearby open areas, pumping its very long, white-sided tail up and down. Song is a repetitive series of high-pitched notes; calls include short, high “pseet” and buzzier flight calls.

Changes are inevitable, in form or substance.

* To put behind one self - the higher self does not exhibit, does not compete to prove superiority *

- do not over-state, over-display to impress -

Is fear synonymous with flight?

Fear always looks backward.

* Loathing shame - No favour accepted, no disgrace to bear

- Avoid owing, therefore no obligation, no guilt - 

"No-Self"

"To understand Reason, you must know selflessness;

To view the Void, you must be wary of that which has form."

 

when we look, when we accept

another new

another beauty

unfolds

behold of eyes that see.

 

so much to look up to

to keep looking up

notwithstanding tugs and pulls

that will never cease

to what is desired 

to what is

when differences play out

in the beginning there was

no difference, till hinted at, till shown off

same source, same play

same catch, same delight

same gain, and loss too

so, what's the fuss

it's another day
