The kun bird in autumn light turns into a peng

The poem

鵾鳥秋光化作鵬遨翔得意盡飛騰直沖萬里雲霄外任是諸禽總不能

In English

The kun bird in autumn light turns into a peng.It soars and glides, pleased, and flies without limit.Straight past the ten-thousand-mile clouds,no other bird can match it.

What it says

A kun becoming a peng echoes the Zhuangzi fable of a great fish turning into a giant bird, a picture of a major transformation. The poem says it rises beyond what other birds can reach. It is an encouraging lot, inviting you to believe in your capacity for growth.

A thought to take with you
