Crested Goshawk

 Accipitriformes - Accipitridae - Lophospiza trivirgata (Helang-Sewah Besar Berjambul)

Powerfully built hawk of forests, especially hilly woods. Namesake crest is usually held low and not very visible. Adult has a gray head, brown wings, whitish underparts with thick orange-brown stripes in belly and streaks in breast, and white throat with black borders. Juvenile similar but with brown head, sparingly marked underparts, and very short crest. Appears stockier and relatively shorter-tailed in flight than other accipiters. Flying adults may also show a fluffy white clump of feathers on both sides of the tail.

You summon grit,

gripping focus.

The wait was over,

The injury was overcome, almost

I renewed the passage I was on

I renewed grit.

down but hardly scarred

up there, down here

mist of breath

warmth of the wet

the muddy, the damp.

Amazing living

I enter on a new path, where heaven and earth knows no boundary.  Come, join me, even from afar.  I will thrive in your beholding as you will in mine, both wonders of creation.  This will be ideal.

 

Do you see what I see

 

It's natural to fly high, not away.

Was it rinsing

Was it rinsing

or was it cleansing,

A renewed quest.

When strange times

When strange times

call for extraordinary measures

Reorder, adapt

Beauty is in second chance.

Bird moment

Bird moment:
Blood flow
Energy alive
My cells are laughing.

Bird moment

Bird moment:
Beauty,
I celebrate
my beauty,
I am not afraid.

Bird moment

Bird moment:
Look far
Look wide
Big is small
Small is big, after all.

Bird tale

Bird tale:
Looking at each other,
whence interconnectedness?

"Today we are searching ...."

Today we are searching for things in nature that are hidden behind the veil of appearance... We look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature.
