Hawk Roosting
I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed.
Inaction, no falsifying dream
Between my hooked head and hooked feet:
Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat.
The convenience of the high trees!
The air's buoyancy and the sun's ray
Are of advantage to me;
And the earth's face upward for my inspection.
My feet are locked upon the rough bark.
It took the whole of Creation
To produce my foot, my each feather:
Now I hold Creation in my foot
Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly -
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My manners are tearing off heads -
The allotment of death.
For the one path of my flight is direct
Through the bones of the living.
No arguments assert my right:
The sun is behind me.
Nothing has changed since I began.
My eye has permitted no change.
I am going to keep things like this.
--Ted Hughes
Daniel L. Davis a Lt Colonel in the US Army has published an open unclassified letter explaining his actions in publishing articles describing the misinformation about Afghanistan and the war. Davis in his letter states “…I was deployed to Afghanistan for a year... I saw many things during that deployment — the fourth combat deployment of my career — that I found disturbing. Eventually I felt morally obligated to do something about what I saw to such an extent that I was incapable of not acting … I submitted a Department of Defense Inspector General complaint against select senior leaders of the Armed Forces for being so deceptive to the US Congress and American people that the truth is no longer recognizable — and the biggest bill-payer for this deception has been the lives and bodies of America’s service men and women. Once I became aware of the truth on the ground, I could no longer rationalize inaction on my part …thousands of combat troops who continue risking their lives each and every day they go outside the wire … I was compelled to act…”

Siesta time for the Bar-headed Geese after a hectic morning. The most interesting aspect of this activity is their community feeling. All the birds do not close their eyes simultaneously. Here two birds have their eyes open and are acting as guards while the other two are resting. No wonder no matter however stealthily one moves towards these birds when they are nesting., all of them become alert whenever an intruder encroaches their comfort zone.

August 17, 2010, 6:22 p.m. What's a nice warm-up run without the occasional delay at traffic lights? Here, the Run Ottawa Club members are waiting (and waiting) at the corner of Carling Avenue and Sherwood Drive. The wait is worth it, however, since there are great hills ahead!

The image of Aylan Kurdi shocked the world and lead to an global outpouring of support for Syrian refugees on humanitarian grounds. This begs the question: why did so many Syrians have to take such a treacherous journey to Europe when there are well-off Islamic countries so close to them?
