Plant A Green Tree To Wait For A Singing Bird.




(Yesterday I was in a bird sanctuary in the Khao Yai National Park in Thailand listening to the calls of wild birds. It was a cool windy morning and the tall grasses dance like rippling waves in the distance. I was up in a wooden tower surrounded by grasslands and a small lake, framed by the darker greens of the forest at the edges. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day. This is dedicated to the birds (seen and unseen) that sang to me yesterday morning. Looked out for it in upcoming posts in Ghost Walk)



There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way
in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.

- Robert Lynd


Birds enhance the landscape by its presence and its songs. Man changes the landscape to enhance no one but himself.

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.

- Chinese Proverb


Too many waits for the singing bird without planting a tree.
