Crested Serpent-Eagle

Accipitriformes - Accipitridae - Spilornis cheela (Helang-Kiuk Biasa)

A rather large, heavily built eagle with a dark, white-tipped bushy crest that gives it a distinctive large-headed look. When raised in alarm, the crest frames the whole face, highlighting the bare yellow lores and eyes, making the head look larger and fiercer. The rufous-brown underparts have neatly arranged dark-edged bold white spots. In flight, shows broad rounded wings with a wide black trailing edge. Juvenile predominantly white with dark streaks below; also note dark mask. Commonly seen perched upright in well-wooded areas, with wingtips nearly covering the broad white sub-terminal band on the tail. Its 1-3 note scream is often heard in the forest.

What dictate repose, what dictate flight?

* To overcome delusion - be mindful of what you are not, of how easily you can assume another's role *

- be mindful of flattery, imagined importance -

Consider the beginning

Do the not-doing.

Practice the not-practising

Taste the not-tasting.

Make great the small

render many the few.

Respond to hatred with virtue.

Contemplate a difficulty while it is easy.

Manage a great thing while it is small.

The world's difficult affairs surely arise from easiness.

The world's great affairs surely originate from smallness.

Therefore the holy man to the end not plays the great.

Therefore he can accomplish his greatness.

Now, as rash promises surely are lacking faith,

many things are easy,

surely many things will be difficult

Therefore the holy man even difficult it.

Therefore to the end he has not difficulties.

 

it's a gift after all

take it on

give it back

who owns any

let it go

it's only for the moment

 

Me as I am

 

Be where I need to be, do what I need to do, no more, no less.  And I'm still true, strong and fearless.

What's out there

What's out there

Sound of wind, sound of light

How a part am I?

 

A song of flight

 

A song of flight

A wind of change

Ascent or descent

Spirit airborne.

Watchful, mindful

Watchful, mindful

Building well-being.

Sound of far away

Bird tale:
Sound of far away
Sound I know
Happiness of knowledge.

Faces, moods

Bird moment:
Faces, moods,
Twists and turns,
Let it be,
nature has its way.

Bird moment

Bird moment:
Found,
in the depth of heart,
the seat of passion.

"To be in company ...."

To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Henry David Thoreau

Bird tale

Bird tale:
Inter-connectedness,
It's a cycle
It's only natural.
