This daily visitor sits over the wire net of the tank in our court heard in which we have some ornamental fish! Its still presence with no attempt to gulp any fish is a sight I like watching! This is bird is only one of the several birds that appear in th court yard at the dawn.
Daphne has got used to them and is not keen to chase them away!
What strikes me is the stillness of this bird! It can stay in one position for several minutes as if it is a statue!
Th bodily stillness is one way of preparing for interior stillness. Those who are used to meditating would know how the interior stillness is a journey we make from quietening our body!
The interior stillness is a prelude to experience the consciousness of God and feel connected with God whom we can welcome in silence! Our communicating mind needs to be stilled for us to receive the visitation of God in interior stillness. This mysterium tremendum is what desert fathers used to refer to as communion with God in interior silence!
