the bird and the puddle
there is a small grey puddle
in a cave in a far-off country
that may or may not exist
and at night a plain black bird
flies a thousand miles
to land in this puddle
and when its feet and legs
raise the temperature of the puddle
by just 0.001%
it is enough to warm the water
and because of this
the most beautiful orchid
is finally allowed to bloom
and I think that is humanity

Could this be David Attenborough and Brian Cox stuck in a lift, running out of air Stu? No I thought not. I love the whole image and the playfulness of it. It could even be a dig at the pomposity of gurus at least I hope it is, they often deserve it!
