There is an art of listening. To be able really to listen, one should abandon or put aside all prejudices, preformulations, and daily activities. When you are in a receptive state of mind, things can be easily understood; you are listening when your real attention is given to something.

Jiddu Krishnamurti, Total Freedom

[ksjanes]

Like the clouds, I move freely—touching each moment without clinging, embracing what is here without getting lost in it. Present now, not drifting into past joys or future fears. Present now, not rushing ahead and overlooking what is here. Like the clouds, I take shape for a time, only to soften again into openness.

All conditions are temporary.

Nothing stays the same.

Which way a thing changes depends on you.

Look deep inside. Things are seldom what they seem, and ignorance, which sees no deeper than the bark, often turns to disillusion when it penetrates into things.

Ospreys build large platform nests made mostly of sticks, then line the center with softer materials like bark, grasses, moss, seaweed, or other drift material. The male usually gathers most of the nesting material, and the female arranges and shapes it.[allaboutbirds]

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
