Two Birds with fair wings,
knit with bonds of friendship,
in the same sheltering tree have found a refuge.
One of the twain eats the sweet Fig tree’s fruitage;
the other eating not, regardeth only.

The Rig Veda [1]
Light shines upon all. Yet, we “fall”
into fascination with glittery objects – forgetting the source light. Seeing
only objects, not the light.
