“Later, Ella looked for the two swallows in the eaves outside the window, watching them even more closely now. The thought of them flying all that way, across mountains and seas and returning here, because this was their home - of them knowing how to find it - changed things. It was a new way of seeing; this was no longer just the place where women and men were kept, but the home of other creatures too, ones that had travelled far and still chosen it because this, above all other places, was the place to bring their families into the world.” InspirationalHomeNatureAcceptanceMental HealthBirdsPerception Of RealityMigratory BirdsSwallows Book:The Ballroom Source: The Ballroom
“Animals rise through a slope toward the summit like migratory birds over an amavasya sky. I watch a mountain loop our prayers like an echo through the darkness.

“The only creative power I know is that of what might roughly be called 'love'; not of course a sentimental love: a far more impersonal and less individual emotion. I sometimes think that migratory birds may have it for each other. They fly in the same direction, and have never been seen to interfere with each other's flights.” ThinkingKnowsMaySometimesMightCoursesIndividualEmotionCreativeBirdFlightInterfereSentimentalCreative PowerMigratory Birds Book:Survival Source: Survival
“Life is the blossoming of flowers in the spring, the ripening of fruit in the fall, the rhythm of the earth and of nature. Life is the cry of cicadas signalling the end of summer, migratory birds winging south in a transparent autumn sky, fish frolicking in a stream. Life is the joy beautiful music installs in us, the thrilling sight of a mountain peak reddened by the rising sun, the myriad combinations and permutations of visible and invisible phenomena. Life is all things.” EndsEarthBeautifulLife IsJoyFallSunSkyCryFlowerMountainSummerSpringBirdAll ThingsSightSouthFruitFishesInvisibleRhythmCombinationStreamsRisingVisibleAutumnThrillingTransparentBlossomingEnd Of SummerRipeningBeautiful MusicNature LifeMountain PeaksCicadasMigratory Birds Author:Daisaku Ikeda

“'Ornithologists concluded that migratory birds take hundreds of naps as they fly; they also practice unilateral eye closure, in which one eye closes, thereby permitting half the brain to sleep.' Is this what happens when photographers close one eye to look through a viewfinder? If so, they might be operating with only half a brain. Perhaps that explains.” IfsLooksMightHappensEyeSleepBrainHalfPracticePhotographyBirdPhotographerNapsClosureMigratory Birds Author:Bill Jay

“O trees of life, O when are you wintering?We are not unified. We have no instinctslike those of migratory birds. Useless, and late,we force ourselves, suddenly, onto the wind,and fall down to an indifferent lake.We realise flowering and fading together.And somewhere lions still roam. Never knowing,as long as they have their splendour, of any weakness.” LongStillsTogetherFallForceKnowingTreeWindLateBirdWeaknessUselessLakesRealisingLionsIndifferentFalling DownFadingUnifiedFloweringTree Of LifeSplendourMigratory Birds Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
