Purple Heron

Pelecaniformes - Ardeidae - Ardea purpurea (Pucung Serandau) 

Large heron with rusty head and streaky neck; juvenile is extensively rusty brown on upperparts. Favors fresh marshes with tall reeds and other vegetation. Often more retiring than Gray Heron and rarely seen in open situations. Only likely to be confused with larger and bulkier Gray Heron, which is paler and grayer overall, with a stouter bill.

(eBird)

Appreciating mystery of occurrences, no need for reason.

Adaptation to change

 

One's administration is unostentatious, unostentatious

one's people are simple, simple.

One's administration is prying, prying

one's people are needy, needy.

Misery alas! happiness's place it supports.

Happiness alas! misery's place it conceals.

Who knows its limits?

It not ceases.

The normal in turn becomes abnormal.

The good in turn becomes unlucky.

The people's confusion!

It daily assuredly since long.

Therefore the holy man is square yet not he injures

angular yet not he hurts

upright yet not strict

bright yet not shining.

Natural

Natural ... if we allow it

 Lute

My lute set aside 

   on the little table,

lazily I meditate 

   on cherished feelings.

The reason I don't bother 

   to strum and pluck?

There's a breeze over the strings 

   and it plays itself.

Po Chu-i

(772-846)

"Do not think 'good' ....

"Do not think 'good';

do not think 'evil'."

 

Let's open our eyes

'Do you see what I see?'

'Do you see what I see?'

It's enough if you see what I see.  Live well.

 

"Every day is a journey ...."

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.

Matsuo Basho

"The job is to seek mystery ...."

The job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.  The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
