Glory To God In The Highest, and Peace To His People On Earth…
I cannot stop singing. I am so filled with passion, so filled with inspiration, so filled with touched and the Glory of Love.
This is Woodlands Town Garden, somewhere near the heart of Woodlands, the place where I found peace, tranquility and the place where all the birds gathered to make peace — Pigeons of different colours gathered, black, white, brown, mixed colours; myna, sparrows living in harmony, with the presence of peaceful dove I saw. I need time to present to you the photographs of these birds… they were so nice, so lovely, never in my life have I had such an awe-filled experience, which I go ‘wow, wow, wow’.
A bird which I saw during childhood, a bird that I began to see again of late and the bird that show me how it can fly so high despite its big size. And whether it is a white egret or black egret, both can fly.
Those are birds flying, sparrows, swift, eagles, and many, many, which I cannot even differentiate what is what, but all flying birds.
Mind opening experience, heart filled with great appreciation of God’s providence of nature.
This common bird, myna, often comes to my house, and it was me who feed him one day…. At a time where people are so afraid of birds (bird flu), I was tested, I fear not, fed the bird and now I see all the reasons behind…..
On my way walking to Woodlands Town Garden with Richard, that was the day I saw the most birds in my life. This is really the time of my life I saw the MOST BIRDS, lots of varieties of birds and all flying in different direction, up, down, left to right, everywhere are birds.
Photographs of birds are so difficult to take. By the time I shot them with my camera, they had flown away! But luckily, I managed to take a few ones still.
For once, my eyes, heart and mind was fully opened, all senses at work, in appreciation of nature, walking in this garden of paradise where there are my favourite flowers, trees and most important of all, the mangrove swamp, the place that I used to roam. (However, it is not the perfect garden now, I sense the smell, it was different, ‘bad’ and I saw the signs — even the fish told me: I saw the cichlid ‘overturn’ (dying), the air was aweful, not normal there. One side of the garden was perfect, but the mangrove side was aweful. The last time I went there, about five to six years back, that was the perfect smell, but there were no birds, no spirits of life.
