a man & his bird companion, he did not know he had
We sometimes feel unseen, unnoticed – but are we really that invisible?
The bird, the hidden companion of the human.
Joining him on his rush to work, to school, to home. Wondering, how his day went.
Why don’t we notice the small beings around us, watching each of their silent steps?
Next time we see a bird, shall we stop to appreciate our little companions, thinking of how their day went?
do we just loop around,
or enjoy the view?
Is life just about repeating and reliving the same pattern over and over again – or about sitting down once and enjoying the view?
What if we can achieve, rush and pursue while also taking it slow and paying attention to our body and soul.
As much as we need adventure, we need silence to recharge. So why not looping around TO enjoy the view?
do flowers watch airplanes, too?
The sky is all about changes – from day to night, from sun to rain, from half to full moon. We watch the sky all the time: to predict rain, to watch the time, to count the stars.
It dictates our day and mood, the way we dress, the way we act.
“Do I need an umbrella today?”
“Shall I put sunscreen on?”
The sky bears the predictable and unpredictable, which makes us watch it all the time.
But are we the only ones watching it, or do flowers watch the sky, too?
Stopping by every Tree we see?
Strolling alongside trees, looking for edible fruits will always be a habit of a good friend of mine. Growing up in a village, surrounded by neighbors’ fruit trees and plucking them along the way was part of his daily ritual.
But we should remember: they are not just fruits—they carry stories with them. Such as loquats, a fruit native to East China, found in the front yard of the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, Lisbon. If we choose to acknowledge our surrounding, being present and observing what is left and right of us, we might see more than just a tree, but whole history.
Observing the habits of friends helps you understand them better — and also the bright, beautiful spots in trees. You might end up discovering a sour-sweet fruit, paired with the taste of a distant land.
