You sit on a thorny branch, alone, contemplating life.
What are you searching for?
Are you looking for food? Or for a partner? Or for meaning in your existence?
The thorns of the branch hurt, but you do not give up.
You continue searching, continue soaring, continue hoping.
You are a symbol of strength and perseverance.
You are a symbol of hope in the hardest times.
You are a lesson for us all.
What do we learn from you?
That we are stronger than we think.
That we can overcome any difficulty.
That we must continue to hope, no matter
how difficult things may seem.
Thank you, little bird, for this valuable lesson.
