Black-throated Sunbird

 Passeriformes - Nectariniidae - Aethopyga saturata (Kelicap Gunung)

Long-tailed male is dark above with a paler belly; in good lighting, note his wine-red back and breast and a purplish-blue crown. Midnight-black throat distinguishes him from otherwise similarly-colored sunbird males. Female is much duller, being predominantly greenish-brown with paler underparts, a gray wash over the head, and a pale rump patch; this last feature distinguishes her from most other sunbirds in range, except Fork-tailed and Mrs. Gould’s Sunbirds, both of which have yellower underparts. Black-throated’s song is composed of shrill phrases of very high twittering trills, often slurred. Calls include high-pitched buzzy squeaks and chip notes.

Vague and fade, significance is not.

Dignity's virtue



The heavy is of the right the root.
The quiet is of the moving the master.

Therefore the holy man [in his] all day walks 
not departs from the baggage wagon, the weighty.

Though he have magnificent sights,
he calmly sits [in an] unconcerned manner.

How [is it that] the ten thousand chariots of,
the master yet as to his person
is too light for the empire,
being too light,
then will he lose his vassals;
being too restless.
then will he lose mastership [the throne].

Heaven's reason (way)



"Heaven's reason (way)"
The natural way is to reduce what's abundant, increase what's in need; do it without claim and superiority.
