Birds

You are your own nest,
why do you search for a nest?
-Nasir Ali

The conditions of the solitary bird are five:
the first, that it flies to the highest point;
the second, that it does not suffer from company,
not even of its own kind;
the third, that it aims its beak to the skies;
the fourth, that it does not have a definite color;
and fifth, that it sings very softly.
-San Juan de la Cruz
