A true 'Snow Bird'
Kolea
Is the Hawaiian name
of the Pacific Golden Plover
[Pluvialis Fulva]
Every Spring, each one flies
from Hawai'i
to their nesting grounds
in Alaska,
returning to our islands
in the Fall
a non-stop 3,000 mile flight
each way.
“Only from the heart
Can you touch the sky.”
Rumi
“ Observe the wonders
as they occur around you.
Don't claim them.
Feel the artistry
moving through
and be silent. ”
Rumi
“Every tree and plant
in the meadow
seemed to be dancing,
those which average eyes
would see as fixed
and still”
Rumi
" Every flower
is a soul
blossoming
in nature. "
Gerard De Nerval

ReplyDeleteThat's alot of work for creating more birds. Maybe they watched "March of the Penguins." There'd be fewer humans if we had to work that hard to advance the species. DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteNice quotes by Rumi : )
ReplyDeleteWho can blame the Snow Bird for flying all that way just to get back to Hawaii? :)
ReplyDeleteAh - Nature is so gorgeous and bountiful!
ReplyDeleteThey must be mighty hungry by the time they get to each side of the equation -- or do they have in-flight refueling?
ReplyDeleteBugs, fish, a wing &* a prayer ~~
