The Burden of Knowledge

"A solitary Starling perched on a gnarled branch, its wings heavy with the burden of knowledge. It is alone amidst the twilight’s embrace, it finds solace atop a gnarled branch, its feathers aglow in the fading light. Each beat of its weary wings bears the weight of the past, the echo of wisdom garnered from distant realms. With each gust of wind, the burden of knowledge presses upon its slender frame. Yet, despite the weight, the Starling remains steadfast, its gaze fixed upon the horizon, where the mysteries of the universe await its unraveling. And in that quiet moment, suspended between earth and sky, the Starling becomes a guardian of the universe." – RDA
