Birds

Birds have always captivated me with their extraordinary presence. Some catch the eye with flashes of color, others with the grace of their flight, and still others with the quiet dignity of simply being still. Each species carries its own character — bold or delicate, playful or serene — and each reminds me of the countless ways beauty shows up in the natural world.

What inspires me most is how birds embody qualities we all long for: freedom, resilience, joy, and a lightness of spirit. They can soar into the vastness of the sky, yet return faithfully to the smallest branch. They sing not for applause but simply because it is in their nature to do so.
