I took an evening stroll in our garden and towards the stream below our cottage yesterday, as the twilight period of the evening made the trees and the undergrowth looked ornamental in the hue of setting sun.
One flower that was open in the morning had folded up. The rose bushes which had dew drops on the leaves in the morning had a clean and fresh look in the evening.
Beside the stream, there were pairs of birds ready to fly away for their night perch stations.
There were individual birds, who were completing their evening rituals before the night fall.
One black Wagtail bird was in its tuneful chorus as it is the habit of this species in the evening and morning, to engage in long spells of bird calls.
I returned from the field, when it was no more bright enough for photography.
When I got back to our garden, I noticed a crow perched on a teak tree at the edge of our garden! Was it its night halt!
I began the day with the sight of flowers in our garden and ended the day watching the birds preparing for the night fall.
The birds might have a nest somewhere during the breeding season. Otherwise, they rest under the canopy of the sky, on a tree or shrub or a hollow of the ground, till morning breaks, to continue its rhythm of receiving the daily needs without labouring! Birds are messengers of GIVENNESS from the giver of all good gifts!
During the day, a lot happened within and outside and it was a day well spent in engaging with situations, to feel the experience of working, as an expression of 'being'!
