Hermit

I came upon this little Hermit Thrush flitting furtively about the forest in the late afternoon sun.
No war here to speak of, no violence, no greed, no racism, no false narrative.
Just a little bird quietly going about his business and allowing me to get close enough for a quick shot.
And when he sings, his song is sweet and ethereal.
A hermit's life does have a certain appeal, especially so in these troubling days.

If only people would learn but it seems a hermit life might be best. Very sweet photo.

peaceful and so alive in the moment...the value and attraction of living in solitude at a serene location was well elucidated in the Cold Mountain Poems of Han Shan...perhaps the little birds songs relate the same joy..
