During the three minutes or so I had a closer view of this Bulbul, I noticed several body movements out of which I picked up these photos in order to connect with the behaviour of this bird.
A crow was in the vicinity. The Bulbul was observing the behaviour of the crow. When the crow moved to the adjacent tree, the Bulbul flew away.
Between its arrival in our courtyard and flying away, I noticed the body movements of Bulbul, which conveyed different perceptions of the environment.
Yes, it was utmost vigilant!
Being present vigilantly is a responsible way of living!
I notice from my experience that such an attitude can evolve only by attentiveness to the events around us and the voice from within.
What events around us can do is either a sense of fear or comfort. If fear is the dominant feeling, it needs to be demystified and if comfort is the feeling it needs to be turned into attentiveness.
That is why transition times are useful in between our work schedule, to audit the inner filter that is within us at that time.
To be comfortable during the time of pressure or a challenge is possible when we return to the position of being restful. It is a good habit to develop the practice of 'returning and resting' inwardly amidst the travails of daily work !
The inner composure and wellness create space to absorb the pressure and demands of the day!
The Bulbul in the photo sequence above seemed to behave from inward composure and awareness of the environment!
