[livejournal.com profile] iswari left this in comments earlier, in response to a post of mine about the pilgrimage aspects of my spiritual and personal lives. It deserves its own post:



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