The call of mindfulness !

 

The rainfall through yesterday, was a stress on the birds in our garden for their normal flight movements. 

While it was drizzling, this Bulbul arrived at the feeding table to feed on the banana. 

What surprised me was its several bird calls before it began feeding. They were loud and long  to announce to other birds about food !

I am hesitant to post a poorly focussed photo of the two Bulbuls above. But I do it to celebrate the mindfulness of a Bulbul to think of other birds even before it began to feed, which brought another hungry Bulbul to the feeding table.

To me, it is a delightful mystery and message to live with! 

When the president of the USA is usurping many benefits for the Americans in multiple ways, the latest being closing the opportunity to learn at the Harvard University for overseas students, a Bulbul is showing us how to think of others!

This bird behaviour is in contrast to what the Israeli leaders are doing to the residents in Gaza. I wonder if the leaders of Israel have become callous to feel the pain and hunger of those in Gaza waiting with vessels in their hands, to get food from the common kitchen!

It is a world where goodness and kindness get subdued by greedy and selfish pursuit!

The Bulbul was a messenger of immense encouragement to me !

Its message resonates within me!
