Macro Mondays : My Daily Routine
HMM to all!!
I firmly believe that religious practices and rituals add powerful dimension of symbol and meaning to one’s life. So, the most significant task in my daily routine is meditating for half an hour in the evening after offering flowers and lighting an oil lamp to Gautama Lord Buddha. The oil lamp represents the light of wisdom that illuminates the darkness and ignorance and flowers are symbolic of the impermanence of life.

We go way back in time, time
Through diamond eyes
We go running
Way back in time
Through diamond eyes
We gotta go back to the start
Back 'til we are back home
We gotta go back to the start
Back 'til we are back home
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock tick
Where is the light
Are we meant to go down again?
We go down
Lightening strikes
Wisdom cries
It's an emergency, emergency
Conscious all night
No one's surprised
As long as we...emergency
Emergency, emergency
Wis-Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
The forest makes your heart gentle.
You become one with it...
No place for greed or anger there.

This ornamental kale with its free petal structure suggests to me an open heart to receive and give freely. It was a treat to see the lovely drops this morning.
In the words of Thomas Frank, "Ding Dong the Jerk is Gone"! Well, not quite, but very soon. The orange menace has lost this election to a man of wisdom, compassion, and character, President-elect, Joe Biden. Words cannot express the joy and relief that I feel as I type these words! After days of anxiety, obsessively checking the news, and inability to focus on anything, the news came yesterday that the worst president in American history will, hopefully, soon be yesterday's news - Hallelujah!!!
Words can't adequately express my joy and relief, so I took an iPhone photo of a coneflower on my porch through a journey to Deep Dream Generator, then to Topaz Studio to add some brush strokes and a texture. An end to the last four years of daily nightmare is at hand!

The Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is an exotic-looking bird found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, best known for its "crown" of feathers and unique defense mechanisms.
Appearance and Identification
Distinctive Crest:
It possesses a tall, fan-like crest of cinnamon feathers tipped with black. This crest is typically held closed but is dramatically raised when the bird is excited or has just landed.
Coloration:
Its body is a pinkish-brown or cinnamon color, contrasting sharply with broad, rounded wings and a tail barred with black and white "zebra" stripes.
Long Bill:
It has a long, slender, down-curved bill used for probing soft soil and leaf litter for food.
Butterfly Flight:
Its flight is highly characteristic, featuring an erratic, undulating movement with deep wingbeats that make it resemble a giant butterfly.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
Primarily insectivorous, it eats larvae, beetles, crickets, and mole crickets. It also occasionally takes small reptiles, frogs, and berries.
Unique Call:
Its name is onomatopoeic, derived from its soft, trisyllabic "oop-oop-oop" or "hoo-poo-poo" call.
Defense Mechanism:
To deter predators, nesting females and chicks produce a foul-smelling liquid from an oil gland that smells like rotting meat. Older chicks can also squirt feces at intruders to defend the nest.
Habitat and Conservation
Range:
It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Northern populations are migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia.
Nesting:
Hoopoes are cavity nesters, using holes in trees, walls, cliffs, or abandoned buildings.
Status:
Listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though populations are declining in Western Europe due to habitat loss and pesticide use.
Cultural Significance
National Symbol:
It is the National Bird of Israel (selected in 2008).
Religious & Mythological:
The hoopoe is mentioned in the Quran as a messenger for Prophet Solomon and appears in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Persian literature as a symbol of wisdom or virtue.
