On a tree and not beside a lake!


Birds also rest!

Watching this king fisher on a tree far away from any water body was a surprise sight!

The kingfishers feed three or four times in a day and rest during the in between times. They fly long distances each day and revisit their familiar sites before they rest for the night!

Rest is in the rhythm of the bird!

Resting from talking, thinking, reading, planning, dreaming..... which is what is referred to as a personal retreat.  

I wish humans would also include retreat as part of their rhythm of living. Take time to rest in a retreat attitude... the discovery of its richness would draw us to return short retreats regularly to discover new experience of sights, insights and foresights.
