Every morning the feeding station in our garden is a reminder to me that birds behave regardfully towards themselves and others.
The two species of Bulbuls who visited the feeding station one after the other left a message to ponder upon.
Both pairs fed and left the feeding station !
To me it occurred as a mindful behaviour towards themselves and others!
When the feeding basin was without any birds, I became aware of the behavioural instincts of some species of birds.
They feed enough at a meal time!
They are fliers and distant travellers.
They feed just enough to be able to fly and cover distances in their travel to different flight stations.
I wonder if some of these birds are good examples about the rhythm of life!
They do not get enticed by the plenty!
They feed enough and wait for the next occasion to feed when. hungry!
The food does not become the reason to eat plenty; living well to keep the body fit to fly becomes the reason to eat just enough!
A new speciality of Life Style Medicine is now catching the attention of professionals as early onset of life style related diseases seem to afflict younger people and deny them of the wellness that they need to live free of addictive practices and multiple ailments!
Wealth does not create wellness; wellness is an experience when one finds contentment as the way of life!
