augustu sāku ar svaigo sulu spiešanas sezonas atklāšanu, pastkarti no Itālijas un...
...lielu raibu nelaiķi pie istabas loga. no rīta viņš ar lielu būkšķi atsitās pret stiklu, bet vīrs mani miegā mierināja sakot, ka droši vien ābols esot nokritis. pēcāk atklājās, ka tas ābols ir dzeguze. tagad jāvīkšā bēres.

"In Tibet's most ancient tradition the cuckoo was considered the king of birds and magical powers were attributed to it. For Buddhists, the sound of the cuckoo is evocative of the 6-verse text, The Cuckoo's Song of Total Presence. This fundamental Dzogchen text concerns the universally permeating nature of Mind -- non-dual, non-discursive, radiant, spontaneous and free."

"Cuckoo -- It is the time is for new beginnings and Cuckoo will show how to move at this time, heralding a new fate. Cuckoo shows how to maneuver through the physical world and to be more sensitive to other worlds. Trust your intuitions and look deeper for solutions. A diet balanced with protein and fruits so be aware of your diet.,It is,time to migrate or remain, time to be active or a time to rest. Pay attention to the eyes and care for them and how to walk carefully by feeling vibrations. You may notice feet sensitivity as you attune the senses."

Kad dzeguze atlaižas pie mājām, tad kāds mirs.
/A.Bulle,Zvārde/
Dzeguze ir nāves putns.
/H.Skujiņš,Smiltene/
Dzeguze skrien mājās kūkot pret mironi.
/A.Cirsis,Kalupe/
Ja dzeguze mājā nāk, tad būs ugunsgrēks vai arī kāds
mirs. /K.Strautiņš,Mēdzūla/

This bird became the main protector of human life, the announcer of important events (birth, marriage and death), the predictor of cyclic time of the year. It’s functions begin in Spring, when a cuckoo announces the end of chaos and the establishment of a new order.
In Baltic pagan tradition people often reincarnate into birds or trees after their death. Only souls of good people could transform into cuckoos. They are seen as mediators between the worlds of the living and the dead. Cuckoo is a bird of Laima, the Goddess of fertility, life and birth.
Vedic understanding that a cuckoo is a soul before and after the incarnation. Body represents a strange nest in which the soul settles.
