№ 521. Gratefulness: Bird Songs

 

A friend asked me about what I'm grateful for. I think the question is like a chain letter that's being passed around and made more current for the pandemic.

Why not? Finding something to be grateful for in 2020 is a useful exercise of mindfulness. It helps keep the black dogs at bay.

Here it is.  

Every morning, I'm grateful for the bird songs that wake me up, without fail, at 5 am. Thanks to the micro-forest behind our house, we have lots of singing visitors all day.

I send her this clip. I couldn't find a good clip of Philippine bird songs, without the background music. This will do for now.

The Pandemic has arrived. We are still managing it. Barely.

Winter is coming. 

Not the white walkers, but worse, the irreversible rise in temperature. An accelerating system that could wipe out our civilizations.

Singapore, as always, is leading into that foreseeable future.

"Giant solar-powered air-conditioners, vacuum garbage collection, subterranean roads for electric vehicles, urban farms and green architecture. Put them all together and you have Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious project yet to build the city of the future.

TEOTWAWKI = The end of the world as we know it.
