Perch

(verb) perch
to alight or settle, as a bird; to sit or roost

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo

Just think of the trees: they let the birds perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when they fly away. If people's hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way.
- Langya


Cold and frosty this morning. A large red tailed hawk was in the woods, scaring many away, but the juncos, sparrows and chickadees were soon in motion when he flew off.

For the Record,
This day came in sunny and cold. By evening we will be heading into a period of heavy rain.
