Yesterday afternoon I watched a flock of 80 plus Bohemian waxwings right in the center of town. Best views where when they were sitting in the top of a sugar maple where they broke off in groups of 20 or so (as is they often do) to feast on crabapples. I suspect they'll be in town as long as the fruit lasts. Quite a sight-

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
