Streaked Spiderhunter

 Passeriformes - Nectariniidae - Arachnothera magna (Burung Kelicap Jantung Gunung)

A large and noisy inhabitant of tropical and subtropical hill forests. Distinctive in its range; a large spiderhunter with a long, curved black bill and black streaking all over its yellow-green upperparts and lighter yellow underparts. Gleans invertebrates from foliage, but also hovers around and probes into flowers for nectar. Often moves with mixed flocks. Calls frequently, giving a loud, decisive-sounding “chitick, chitick!”.

Who look back, who move back, who stay back - yet time turns not back?

To maintain one's position

"To maintain one's position"

Employ the Virtue in good and evil to balance both.

 

a leap of faith

a leap

a flight

on wings of faith

 

Don't waste the colours

Song of colours
Dance of feathers
Speak the earth.

 

Inside out

Inside out
Upside down
And you say
life is a bore.

Beauty sweeps past

Beauty sweeps past,
slips by, inattention,
None is owed.

Bird tale:
I found again,
each time different,
Because I have no bias.

No star is ever lost we once have seen,

We always may be what we might have been.
