Common Iora

 Passeriformes - Aegithinidae - Aegithina tiphia (Kunyit-kecil Biasa)

Breeding adult males are black above and rich yellow below with white wingbars. In nonbreeding plumage the upperparts are greenish-yellow, but the wings are still black with white wingbars. The female is similar in appearance to a nonbreeding male. These birds are quite vocal and can produce a wide variety of calls. The most commonly heard is the whistle “twiii tuiii twiiii.” Apart from this, it utters variable “chirrs” and chattering. The song is a trilled “wheeeee-tee.” Common Iora are frequently seen in wooded areas, scrub, and cultivated lands.

* Knowledge's disease - sickness occurs when one thinks one knows when one doesn't know

- beware the afflictions of self-importance or ego -

 

Role playing

Dutiful

Mindfulness, of self, connectedness.

 

Assessment

 

To choose but not to judge

Clouds appear free of care

and carefree drift away.

But the carefree mind is not to be "found" -

to find it, first stop looking around.

the same road after all

a long road

i take, and i give

how much is much

it's the same road

we walk separately

we get what we seek

the same need not be the same

 

whose values

i couldn't have got it right

when it looked so wrong

so what's so right

or so wrong

 

What's poison

What is, what is not

Do not over-think

Embrace

Let go.

 

Overturn, overtake

Overturn, overboard

nothing stirs

Purity, no forms nor shades.

Go, go

Go, go
freely, idly,
Clouds will disperse.
