The Lyre-Bird Thanks to Vivien (Henderson) for provoking my curiosity about this very beautiful and special bird I never heard about before. Lynds Jones tells about it on: http://www.birdnature.com/dec1899/lyre.html Credit: The picture above was found on The Nutty Birdwatcher |
Like a dream might Hilary (Ash) most generously contributed this: recently i heard a writer speak about his new book. he was describing the importance of art in enabling us to see the world. 'a man,' he said, 'might walk past a blossom tree every day of spring and fail to notice its blooms. but when he sees a painting of the blossom tree, then he sees it, as if for the first time.' how elusive is truth - the harder we chase
it, the more it slips away. when we believe we have a solid grasp of it, suddenly it grows
new tentacles and complexities. and yet we are driven to seek it. |
