according to Buddha

He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose 
dwelling place is an empty and imageless release…the way of such a person is 
hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.

free as a bird
it’s the next best thing to be
free as a bird

home, home and dry
like a homing bird I’ll fly
as a bird on wings
