Fly time

Happy living…. Made me think of birds and how free they seem. I have seen big flocks of crows and ravens in Warsaw, this past February, gathering in the tall leafless trees, surrounded by gray skies and white snow. Sitting in the crows of the trees, all very loud, creating a wall of sound that seemed industrial in its intensity. Or flying fast in a big black cloud of thousands, still crowing, loud and intense. There was power and joy to it.

How happy were they one will never know, but they seemed so natural and in tune with their environment. Even if it was an illusion of happy living it made my heart soar and wish I could join them in their aerial round.

「HAPPY LIVING」讓我想到鳥兒們自由的模樣。今年2月我曾在華沙看到一大群的烏鴉，聚集在一棵高大的枯樹上，後面襯著灰色的天空和白藹藹的雪。烏鴉們站在樹的頂端，每一隻都吵雜的鳴叫，以彷彿工廠噪音般強度創造出一面音牆。或是成千上萬形成一片巨大的烏雲，依然發出尖銳、嘈雜、極強烈的聲響。充滿了力量與狂喜。

它們到底有多高興無人能知，不過它們在那個空間裡看來如此自在與協調。即使這也許只是一種「HAPPY LIVING」的幻覺，仍讓我的心隨之翱翔。我真希望我能加入它們的空中巡禮。

雀躍的心
隨著快樂自在的鳥兒
翱翔….
