At least two killdeer vocalizing in the corn stubble next to my house in
Fairlee (CT River valley) this AM. Could be headed farther north, though
early migrants tend to loiter here for several days at least. Earliest
recorded sighting in my 21 years in the valley-

It's not by chance that the dark center of human eye, the pupil, is
actually an empty hole through which the world becomes known to us.
Likewise, in a spiritual sense, the I is the empty center through which we
see everything. It's revealing that such a threshold is called the pupil,
for it is only when we are emptied of all noise and dreams of ego that we
become truly teachable. -Mark Nepo
